HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

Ya mean Sleet/Ice Storm? Instead of Sleet/Ice Storm i'd have Fireball/Rain of Fire goodness. Just seems like a alot more damage.

You forget that sleet is a -res making all your attacks do more damage.

I have a Mind/Electric Dom with slotted Sleet (3 procs) and Ice Storm (proc and max damage).
If I drop both, by the time I use another AoE, most everything is dead.
It's a GREAT combo. It almost negates a lot of my other damage powers.

Ice Mastery's Sleet + ice storm + dull pain clone (hoarfrost) for extra damage/ debuff / healing is hard to beat if you are looking at pure numbers. The exception is possibly fire mastery in a */fire dom - the boost from embrace of fire will apply to all your attacks and fireball is a really nice addition to any dom's AoE damage
However, none of the APP's they gave to dom's really suck - they are all pretty nice and add more area attacks and other tools. You won't lose out by taking any of them if you don't like the ice theme for whatever reason.

Exactly, number wise Ice beats the rest for my build(Fire/Psi). While I'm not a /fire I'd still like Fire Mastery just for the bam aoe damage instead of another DoT. Also with the new I20 Trials would having more Resist help for survivability?

Enjoying a Fire/Psi Dom and have gotten up to 41 and rdy to take a APP/Patron up till now I'v been planing to go with Ice as the Hoarfrost is great for the extra hp which means more regen and Frozen Armor for softcap but I'v got to thinking with Accolades I'v got near capped hp and with enough hits on my PD I have capped regen as is. I'm 2 small purples away from softcap D which I dont mind using if I need to take alpha. I dont have the slots for Sleet or Ice Storm really so they are there but Ice Storm is Meh, Sleet is great but I'm kinda leaning toward Fire Master now.
Fire Mastery will gimmie 50% S/L resistance(with tough), a Damage Now AoE(Fireball which will be 5 sloted) and Rain of Fire which with a aoe root is just killer. And for kicks a self-res. I thinkin with the new content Fire might be better suited as softcap D is just not enough and the extra resistance would help alot.
Let me hear it
