Boilerplate response: What do you want to do with it?
I have an Elec/Cold at 33 right now, built to be a team-oriented buff/debuff machine. Very little damage (so i never solo him) but he's pretty good at juggling multiple mobs and supporting teams of any size.
Elec and Cold are both pretty low damage, and seem to shine better as support, and with that in mind, the only thing that jumps out at me is you take your two shields very late in the game, and slot more for bonuses than optimal defence.

This build will basically be a buff/debuff machine as well. Low levels will rotate around draining end and slowing things to a crawl, mid levels will be buffing allys/gremlins to high amounts of awesome, and higher levels will be able debuff things down so the buffs are that much better.
I took the shields later in levels as i was planning on soloing alot, and the shields wouldn't be all too useful until i get the gremlins. Maybe i'll rework the build so the shields come faster, as low level teams can really use the boost.
I leaned more towards recharge, as much as possible, so that i could perma benumb, and indomitable will. High recharge on heat loss and sleet aren't bad either.
Im thinking solo the gremlins will be there to soak up my buffs, and keep most of the aggro off me, so i didnt lean much towards self defense. Should I?
Elec's Confuse and Sleep can do wonders to diffuse the alpha. I've juggled multiple ambushes with relative ease with those two powers and some healthy end drain.
Elec's damage is pretty pathetic, esp pre-pet. Teaming, esp at lower levels, would definitely take the edge off the grind. I solo'd my cape missions the other day with my elec/cold. If it wasn't for my vet attacks, I would prolly still be trying to finish them.
Stay Gold, Paragon. Stay Gold.

Hey guys,
After realizing my elec/storm wouldnt work out, i decided to reroll as elec/cold, but i'm having an issue on slotting and power picks. i wanted to get the psi mastery epic power pool for the mez protection, and i have enough cash on hand to get anything in order to perma it, but i just can't quite get everything down. Heres the build i've been messing with, any ideas on how to improve it or readjust certain things? I'm only familiar with elec control to about level 20, and outside of spreadsheet knowledge, i don't know a thing about cold. Any advice would be great
Heres the build:
