If you're willing to go down the Endurance alpha route, this build would give you soft capped Ranged defense, nearly soft capped slash/lethal (close enough that it probably won't matter much), 48% s/l resistance to help with what damage does get through (boosted by the endurance alpha), and fire attacks. Consume is not a great power but will help you recover some additional endurance every few minutes. The casualty was Repulsion Bomb. If you're willing to spend billions for the PVP +defense IO, that power can be added back in and several additional changes can be made to reconfigure this build to grab either more recharge or to try to cap Psi defense.
By the way some people would likely call the FF shields underslotted. You can get better numbers out of them but because you can't cap people's defenses on your own it's a crap shoot based on who else is on the team. By itself increasing the defense much more does little, and in a team situation its impossible to know where your numbers will end up.
FYI this build doesn't exemp well at all... but few Ice builds do.
One more note. This build depends heavily on Tactics to make up for some of its missing Accuracy. I looked at the powers all the way to against +4s and as long as there is no -ToHit or +Defense from enemies you should hit fine. If you run into any though a few powers are screwed. This is the case with most extreme builds so you're probably still ok. However, one power that will fail you in that situation is Consume. If there are fights where your endurance is flagging, detoggle Tough first, since of all your toggles it does the least for you (and the defense IO it has works even when the power is off).

so ive been over this topic a couple times and i think i finally have something that i can live with. soloing with my ice/ff troller has always been love/hate..losing survivability for dmg and vic versa..but now with inherent fitness its feasible. this toon is my badgewhore and i just would rather not have to rely on others to get my new badges as ive had to since the beginning
i barely manage to softcap my s/l defense at 45% even and loaded the build with procs and +dmg bonuses. im kinda at a loss for the alpha atm but i guess that will weigh in once i get a feel for the build and get some input
