My Mind/Ice/Fire is my current favorite Dom. Mind/ gives hard and soft controls, /Ice gives more soft control and Damage and //Fire gives fast animating AoE carnage. Permadom makes it magnitudes better.
Ice/Earth/Ice is a fun thematic combo well suited to being in melee range and going smash. Mine has a Norse theme. I start off with Ice Slick, slap Block of Ice on the target that is the greatest threat, follow up with shiver and move into melee range, then I let Artic Air take hold and start in with single target and PBAoE smash.
Once I have every thing at the -rech cap I'll frost bite and drop sleet and Ice storm on the spawn then continue with the melee smash. Domination doesn't help much with this type dom so build for defense and use domination as a free breakfree and free blue bar fill.

I've an Ice/Thorns who is quite fun. It's a remake of a Spines/Regen I made for a SG themed group based on sea creatures. He's a mutated sea urchin.
Thorns goes well with Ice as both like to be in close in melee, even Thorns Cone attack is melee friendly. Aiming to make him an Ice/Thorns/Ice eventually.
I've been enjoying my Ice/Psi Shatterbright. Stacking -recharge is nice, as is Drain Psyche to both make up for the endurance cost of Arctic Air and to regenerate any damage that gets through the soft control of Ice/.

I picked /Fire as part of a revamp of my existing Ice/Thermal Controller. Only level 22 right now but no complaints so far. Ice is a bit low on hard control so I will have to live to see whether I end up face planting a lot... guessing not once IOs get involved.
i have an ice/fire (recently speced from mace to fire mastery), and it may be a little low on the control side, its very good on the kill everything fast side.
however, ice slick and shiver have come in very handy to mitigate risk. ice slick may not stop attacks completely, but the fear effect and kd do wonders. shiver also doesn't stop attacks, but once they attack, they won't again for quite a while, and they won't get very far in between either, especially if they happen to be on ice slick too.

Any thoughts about an Ice/Earth?
@Nova King
My only concern with Ice/Earth would be the end usage. It should be great in melee range, but I have a permadom Elec/Earth and still run low on endurance between domination recharges.
I have an Earth/Ice/Ice.
The ability to send your pet as the alpha strike is amazing. Sending the pet in and while they all aggro on him, hit the AoE stun followed by the AoE Immob with a layer of Quicksand, Earthquake and finally hit them with Sleet and Ice Storm; you can go two routes for the actual attacking.
1.Since they will all be mezzed, aggro'd and busy you can either start using your ST attacks and Frost Breath at medium range while reapplying EQ/QS/Stags/Cages.
2. Because they will be busy on trying to run, hitting the pet or just tripping, you can come in with melee and go to town.
If things get iffy throw down VG and reapply your AoE Immob and Sleet and Ice Storm.
The best part is that Powerboost is up fast enough that you can apply it to most of your powers for some long term controls. If you have the megalomaniac accolade power you can seriously lengthen the effects of your Controls.

Going to put in a second for Ice/Fire.
Mine is only about level 30 right now, but it has been a lot of fun. Seems a bit low on the AoE hurt, and you can get yourself in trouble, but for the most part it is fun, and drops things fairly well. Really looking forward to seeing what happens when Jack Frost gets in on the action at 32.

Ice/Earth ftw. Slot plenty of end recovery IO sets and you'll be fine.
