mind/ice or ice/ice?

I am going to start a dom and see how I like it. I have not played one since the changes and they seem much improved.

I am stuck between what to pick though. I like mind it looks nice, but thinking about ice/ice and stacking those Toggle cold auras sounds awesome! I would probably cripple enemies big time movement and recharge wise. I also love the confuse in the ice primary toggle. I know mind has confuse and mass confuse, but no pet which I think is always fun. Does anyone have any experience with these sets? Mind/ice or ice/ice?

(I am trying earth/stone right now to see if I like that also!)(edit: I do like earth, but I don't know if I like stone melee with it, so maybe earth/ice might be cool)

(edit: I am playing ice/ice now and it seems very cool, I just hope the damage of ice is decent later on)

(Edit: Well, nobody has made any comments, so after trying a few I decided on Plant/Stone mostly because I have a L50 plant controller and he is great and I see great potential with the chance for recharge proc in the aoe KD powers of stone)

I've got a level 50 Ice/Ice and a Mind/Psi in the upper 20s... I'd say I probably enjoy my Mind Dom more, nowadays.

With Ice, it takes quite a bit of work to get a lot of effect out of stacked slows in my experience... and I think the confuse power (Arctic Air) is not worth taking, myself. Jack Frost is very helpful, though! Obviously, I don't hate this combo, I did get it to 50, I just didn't find it easy.

Mind opened me up to the awesomeness of sleeps. When solo or on a small team (especially with Stalkers!), sleep is amazing. The variety of mezzes in sleep makes me forget about not having a pet. I'm not sure what kind of synergy you'd get with Mind/Ice, but I can definitely give Mind a hearty recommendation.

Cool, tyvm for the post. I finally just decided on plant/stone, but I am seriously NOT liking stone at all. I am really getting bored with it. I do really like the attacks in ice though. I have a L50 plant controller and I love SoC and CC. I have never been mind before, so honestly maybe I should try something new. The pets never seemed all THAT amazing to me besides fire imps, so I definitely would NOT miss plants stupid pet at all lol. I admit that Doms are way different than my controllers and I am having a rougher time than I expected "Living" lol. My ice/ice lives much longer and easier than my plant/stone. I know once I get SoC though my survivability will go way up. I am taking stone melee because I want to put a few chance for recharges in my Knockdown aoe attacks.
