Nice build, looks really solid. How are you liking Total Focus?
Only thing I'd change about the build is to swap the Apocs into BiB since its your best attack and will make better use of the high enhancement values of the set.

Hey thanks, that's a good point. I think I was going for the "Frequent Proc" concept with ice blast.|

I get a huge kick out of Total Focus. I had to retire my Stone/EM tank due to him being completely useless in the IO world, and I really missed the red pom-poms of doom. Frequently one-shotting stuff with TF on the tail end of Aim and Buildup is hilarious.

Yeah, I originally put the Apoc set in my fast recharging blast (Fire Blast, Ice Blast, etc) but its much better in your tier3 blast (except for Sonic >.>). You've got the recharge to have BiB up really fast anyway and it makes so much better use of the enh %s than in Ice Bolt/Blast.

Could probably take slots out of Infrig and slot that an achilles heel proc + a Lyso HO, same with Sleet and slot that Achilles Heel proc + LG rech/end, UD rech/end, and UD rech/end/def for better enhancement values for less slots.
Not sure how much use the Impeded Swiftness proc in snow storm would be.
Some Def/ends in your shields, and a def/end+def in maneuvers (if you're actually using it) can help a good deal, and a steadfast def/end in temp invul or Fog could be good too.
Adjusted Targetting Rech and Rech/Tohit + normal rech IO in Aim would give you +2% dmg and an unnoticeable loss in recharge.
2 Efficacy Adaptors in Heat Loss instead of the normal endmod IOs could help too.
Those are just minor things to get more mileage though, nice build 
Hey there DreadShinobi,
thanks for the suggestions! I love tweaking these things. Like a modern day version of car tuning, or something, he heh. I will probably use several of them. I guess I wanted to make sure I understood you. Were you thinking of a build altered to look something like this?

Hi there,
in case anyone is making their own Ice/Cold build and wants some sort of reference, here's what I ended up with after a good bit of trial and error. I am using him with the Spiritual Rech/Heal Alpha slot. Happy to answer any questions about playability, etc. He is very very survivable: I have not yet died on a TF.
Global recharge is 172% pre-alpha, 35% resists to Smashing/Lethal/Fire/Cold. Aim+Power Build Up is quite devastating to spawns w/ Blizzard. Heat Loss is essentially perma. Assault caps out that last 10% of damage on every power that is 90% there.
Cheers,
IM
