First thing, you're taking Chilling Embrace way too late, even for a respec build, IMO. It's your taunt aura and the slows provide significant damage mitigation. Take it before level 10. Icicles is a very high-end toggle, so I'd delay it until after Stamina and take GA at 18 or 22 and EA at 26.
Personally, I think 53% defense without EA is overkill; that and the desire to build for recharge had you make some slotting decisions I wouldn't make. For instance, Icicles is extremely underslotted for endurance, and I'd put a fourth slot in FA, GA and Weave to be sure they're slotted to the ED cut-off for defense and have enough end reduction. Tough is also underslotted; I'd replace the Imperv Armor and the SP Res/End with 3 slots of Aegis for the F/C def.
Defense and recharge are great, but you also need to make sure your attacks are adequately slotted. Frozen Fists needs another slot to provide some accuracy and damage, Freezing Touch is very underslotted for damage, and Frozen Aura needs more end reduction.
I'd also slot more recharge in EA as well as the end mod and defense.
Here's what I would do with your build. It has slightly less defense, and less recharge, but end use and regen are better, and your attacks are slotted much better. Honestly, with so much recharge and so little end reduction in your current build I'd be concerned that you'd use end faster than EA could recover it.

My Characters
Knight Court--A CoH Story Complete 2/3/2012
So I recently tried a little experiment with my Ice/Ice tank. It ummm, didn't go well. So I have tinkered in MIDS and came up with this. Please let me know what you all think.
Highlights:
53% S/L/E/N Defense BEFORE EA
Perma Hoarfrost(which caps my HP)
151% Recharge (W/Hasten up) This means Hasten has a downtime of 8.5 seconds. (UGH!)
Ice Patch up every 11 seconds.(I know thats rediculous but hey, its really funny to watch two or three mobs on their back after a good herd)
EA up every 20 seconds!!!
Both Freezing Touch and Block of Ice to provide some nice control in addition to my slows.(Tanktroller anyone?)
And the creme de la Creme....Frozen Aura up every 6 seconds usually with BU to accompany it.
So here is the build:
