Ice/Fire.
Fits nice thermaticly, insane aggro, insane AoE, easy to soft-cap, the list goes on.
Shield/Fire has better aoe though, but Ice/Fire isn't as end heavy.
Shield/fire!
use the elemental ice shield + fire sword!

Hold aggro, deal damage, crowd control, and a self-rez that's so awesome you can claim you died on purpose.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

I'll throw my 2 cents in on a Shield/Fire as well; I just took one to 50 and it's highly durable, cheap to soft cap and deals near-scrapper level damage.
You could go with a Fire/Shield scrapper if you like; you'll have the same strength aggro aura with a lot more damage. It will cost more to soft cap but for a duo it's plenty tough enough to tank for your buddy. If you're just going to duo then a tanker's overkill on durability.

Well with a fire/ice blaster, why not go with sd/dm. Fire blaster will melt the min and LT's anyways, might as well give your self some single target punch for the bosses. That and the -neg tohit works well with defense, the psuedo attack/heal Endurance recovery, a better than build up power (certain opinions may say). **** by the time you gain agro you just may not even need your blaster anyways.|

Maybe your blaster buddy should go ice/ice and focus on single target attacks, if you go sd/anything the blaster isn't going to be as needed to melt spawns.
