Dark-Ice Def: is there a reason to try.

It's a lv50 all finished PvE toon I really like, and I'm mulling over the idea of making a 2nd build on it for PvP. A long time ago long before PvP changes I had a Dark-Psy that I could casually take into PvP and dominate with, but that character has long since been deleted. I know Ice Blast is certainly not up to snuff anymore in PvP (though I still love it for PvE), and am wondering if there is any hope for this build or even reason to spend the money and time on it.

As it stands now, I do not have a build set up. From what I've seen however I think I would like to take Soul Mastery for Power Boost, and to have another pet out with fluffy, I'm a little more focused on the build for arena rather than for zone. Something about running around stalker infested waters with my only self heal having an animation that just screams "hey AS me" doesn't thrill me. Feel free to disagree with that assumption, but I'm thinkin if this build has any hope, it will lie in arena and not in zone. If anyone has thoughts or even builds I'd be happy to hear em.

To sort of expand on what psy already stated... This could be, at most, an ok pvp dueling toon. Thats if you spent countless hours playing and testing different builds and strats... and spent a small fortune on it. If you were to flip the powers (as in dark blast and cold debuffs) then you got something.. but honestly this is would just be a time and money sink and still end up below average for a pvp toon.
