I'm not sure how to respond to your build, mainly because I'm not sure I would focus so much on getting perma-hasten, etc. I'm not a fan of Maneuvers for a tank in general, and I suspect that if you're fighting a lone AV you'd be running out of endurance with this build.
Beyond that, I see why you did what you did. Minor tweaks that I'd probably make with this build if I were to use it: Take every attack with Crushing impact and change the Dmg/Rech to Acc/Dmg. The reason behind that is that I'd take the 6th slot from those same attacks and drop them into Frozen Armor, Glacial Ice and Maneuvers and put some very needed EndRedux IOs in there.
In general you still could be sucking wind as you've got fairly limited end redux in your attacks vs. recharge. Hopefully Energy Absorption will be up often enough, with enough mobs around, to cover your end needs.
Again, this would be my preference. If you're happy with this and it works, which is the key thing here, go for it. As always YMMV.
Throwing darts at the board to see if something sticks.....
Come show your resolve and fight my brute!

I would go with something like this. Would work with Cardiac or Spiritual Alphas. Cardiac pretty much lets you fight without relying so much on EA. Spiritual you'll probably want to use EA whenever it's up.

SG: Guadians of Paragon - VG: Paragon's Darkness
The Usual Suspects: Fimboolvetr (Icer Tank), Tsukiyomi (Mind/Psi/Ice Dom), Smiting Dragon (Dm/Sr Scrap), Widow Mortis (NW)
Up and Comers: Ameterasu (Km/Reg Scrap), Arrhymian (Elec/Nin Stalk), TDMKII (Bot/Traps MM)
I'm looking to put together an Ice/ tank - so far, the best synergy seems to be with /Kinetic, for stacking large amounts of -damage on targets to offset the poor resistances of Ice/.
(With Soul Mastery, I'm looking at -49% damage in a semi-PBAoE, with Burst + Darkest Night + Chilling Embrace, and something approaching -70% to a single target stacking a couple of single target attacks on top.)
Here's what I have so far - softcapped SLEN defenses with a two enemies in Energy Absorption (which I'll be using constantly to keep endurance manageable), perma-hasten, cold resistance cap, no purples or PvP IOs.
The Widow is mostly a set-mule for a 6.25%, but she also comes along to stack some -recharge on her targets.
I'm looking at suggestions on stuff I've missed, blatant errors, and suggestions for improvements (that hopefully won't break the bank).
