Ice/Ice/Cold
First, I would wait to start this character until issue 19 goes live, and you get the fitness power pool for free, or just have a respec ready to go once it hits. Next, I would ditch the melee moves (or, if you want to get Kick for access to Tough and Weave, don't bother slotting them). Ice/Ice/Cold is a very controlling combination, and you can be a powerful "blastroller."
The Slow aspect incorporated into all the powers is what makes melee difficult. They will take longer to get to you, so you will have to actually go to your enemies to use the melee powers, as opposed to just blasting until they reach you, then resorting to punching them in the face.
Definitely take Aim. It's worth it for putting strong things down quickly (i.e. trumping a Paragon Protector's Moment of Glory defense boost).
I recommend taking Bitter Freeze Ray. Yeah, yeah, long animation, whatever... Use it as an opener. Open on a 4 enemy mob, you can freeze 2 by following it with Freeze Ray, and make things much more managable. Or freeze the boss before they can get off a single attack. I find it is worth it.
There's my 2 cents.
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.

Any bosses affected by the stacking holds of Freeze Ray/Bitter Freeze Ray can just be slow kited anyway.

Keep Ice Sword, its a great attack Frozen Fists on the other hand isn't all that great. I'd say its a great build for the good price but you're making too many concessions in order to get to the soft cap. for instance you didn't take Freeze Ray, big no no, its a fast animating mag 3 hold that can perma hold bosses with two applications.
I'd highly recommend taking combat jumping as well as maneuvers so that way you can use less set bonuses for defense and slot other powers accordingly.

I'd also suggest dropping Frost Breath. It's a decent power, but seems like those slots would be better used in Aim and Build-Up.
anywho, i added Hoarfrost and my thoughts
