Alright, I don't have time to respond to the full build at the moment, so some initial thoughts to get you started (more thoughts available in the guide in my sig as well).

1) Gale is not a damage power. Unless you find you actually use it (I doubt it) it is currently a 5 IO 6.25% recharge bonus mule. There are so many places to use those slots. Stick an accuracy in there, and move on

2) Snow Storm is over slotted. (Also, technically an exploit, but not one that is likely to get fixed anytime soon since it's been around since the start). Snow Storm and Freezing Rain will put anything at the slow cap, 3 IOs is overkill. stop at 2.

3) Freezing Rain is not a damage power. If you want to deal damage with it, slot procs. It is a debuffing power. You want Freezing Rain up as often as possible to increase the damage you deal so slot it for recharge. (Achilles' heel proc is also nice along with the damage procs)

4) Stealth is currently a set mule and will not stack with Steamy Mist. Consider weave instead as something you might actually use on occassion, or better yet, an endurance recovery power.

5) I predict endurance trouble (especially if you're not going cardiac). Consider Miracle in Health, and Performance Shifter +end in stamina along with 2 endurance IOs.

(And....I'm out of time but one last one)

6) Tornado is a damage power, not a debuffing power, and slot it as such.
