Starting to get the feeling that nobody likes my builds lol. I posted a claws/will a while ago and got lots of views, no comments. Am i just picking weird sets?
Toss in the data chunk. I know many (myself included) find it harder to read in list form.
Also, I don't know Ice Armor well, so any comments I'd make would be mainly regarding DM.

ok one hting i must ask...
You have defense/endurence in hide.....
Hide doesnt use endurence.....so wouldnt it be better to use defense/recharge??
I'm still learning things and i didn't know hide used zero endurance.
A few points, and bear in mind these are all my own personal opinions:
-Sets, if slotting them, slot to a useful point. stopping at 5 on ToD and Mako's is a rather useless bonus, see if you can't get the slots elsewhere to bring those sets to 6 slots worth for the Defense bonus.
-Underenhancing. Sets are well and good, but you need to ensure the critical aspects of your powers are enhanced enough. AS and MG could both use some more damage, EA and Hoarfrost a little more recharge (swap in the End/Rech from DW's, to up that, especially since most of the extra HP is wasted?), Build Up is criminally unenhanced for recharge, and then Icy Bastion has no Recharge (aside from global) at all. You could drop an enhancement from AS/MG and replace it with an IO from another set to bring the damage up, and not lose much from dropping to Tier 4 bonus. Hibernate would benefit more from a Recharge than a heal, since it's a relatively quick regen.
-Overenhancing. As mentioned, Hide has no Endurance cost, so best, if possible to slot something else in there, not always feasible though if you're going for bonuses. Also, Waterspout is extremely overslotted for Defense DeBuff. you could either move slots around elsewhere, use different IO's to keep those bonuses, or use a lower level within the set, which would porbably be a cheaper investment.
-Rule of 5. You can have no more than 5 bonuses of the same type, regardless of source. You've got 6 LotG:+Recharge's, as well as 6 Tier 2 bonuses from LotG. The 6th one is just taking up space for a different enhancer/set bonus. The "View Active Sets" button can give ya a quick rundown on what sets bonuses you've gotten, where they are, and which ones ain't doing diddly.
-Power order. Don't know if you are 50 already, and/or don't intend on exemplaring, but the delay on taking some of those powers makes me twitch. AT/powerset cornerstones Like BU, AS, defensive shields and Mez protection I try to take as soon as possible... pool powers can wait.
Again, these are all my own thoughts and opinions, and what may be fun for you would be to ignore the living crap outta what I just wrote. But also, for comparison, here's a BS/Ice build I'm looking at. haven't rolled the toon yet, and this build is definitely a respec into at no sooner than 37, but it seems to have potential. (just need a name/concept/willpower not to buy Barbarian Costume pieces) Data Chunk only.

Been wanting to roll an /ice armor stalker since i21 hit and thought dark would fit well with it. And i've been told that energy melee can do everything better than DM, but I chose this route instead. Any comments (good or bad) is appreciated.
