Camo
I looked at your build and by no means am I an expert on Dark/Ice. I do have an almost soft capped Ranged Dark/Sonic/Fish Defender (44.17% to Ranged/50% Recharge build) and much of the build that I post below is based on that experience. The build below softcaps you to Ranged however it has only 36% recharge BUT it is cheaper (in terms of Sets used) and in terms of functionality may be better (ie Ice Storm is slotted up). My experience with Fluffy reflects my slotting - imo he's best slotted with 2 Acc/Mez HOs and then the rest of the slots - suit to taste. I know that you can easily softcap yourself to ranged with just one luck but you may draw some ideas from this build.

Currently I have a Cardiac common for my alpha.
@Deadboy
I have a Dark/Ice level 50 Defender. It's a fun combination to play. I have a little concern for the slotting in ice storm. This power is unmodified from the blaster form. It's a real killer. I wouldn't worry so much about slotting much acc or recharge in it, but I would be inclined to skim a couple slots, maybe the third recharge IO spot in Tar Patch or a slot or two from Petrifying Gaze.
My dark/ice went the spiritual route. Tons of recharge fits nicely with the stun component in some spiritual alpha abilities. Howling Twilight and Oppressive Gloom can use extra stun benefits.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Finally working on a respec for my Dark/Ice and could use some advice. I was mostly going for Defense and Recharge...will be mostly used for TFs.
Also, any ideas on an Alpha would be good...I'm thinking Cardiac or Spiritual?
