Okay, looking at your selection of powers, my first question would be
- You were building for defense yet skipped Arctic Fog? Wat?
- You severely underslotted key powers so you could overslot other, less important things, for set bonuses. You 6-slotted Infrigidate for ST slow which is of utitlity in no situation I can think of, for 3,13% ranged defense, yet you didn't slot your one ST blast at all, even though doing so with Thunderstrike would have netted you 3,75% ranged defense. Um.
- Earthquakes isn't perma with your slotting.
- Stupefy, while having a sexy 6-slot bonus, suffers from a horrifically bad proc that will negatively impact your controls. Random 20% mag 6 KB ftl...
- Benumb is a key power, and it is underslotted. It needs accuracy, and should be made as close to perma as possible.
- Snow Storm is kind of craptastic. Quicksand does the AOE slow much better.
- I'd recommend not skipping Frostwork, in itrials, having the Max HP of the main tank boosted is actually quite nice.
- Your ice shields are your best team utility. They should be ED-capped for defense. Ice Shields + Arctic Fog will give your leaguemates a total perma boost of 23% defense to everything. This is more utility than you get from the leadership pool.
- Slotting Sleet for damage is pointless. Damage procs, yes, damage, no. Sleet will have 75 instances of a 0,22 dot, which the game rounds up to an even 1 damage. ED-capping the damage leads to dots of 0,44 damage which are still dots of... 1 damage.
Long story short, this is what I came up with:

Thanks for your time, and your input.
This is a toon that I hadn't played much and wanted to revisit it now that I have the inf to give it the IO love it needs. I soloed it to 50, with the exception of tfs and an msr on 2xp weekend. The folks in the troller forums were saying that frostwork doesn't help that many people, as they are usually already at their max hp, or close enough that it would be like a pinch of salt on a pizza. So much in the food already, we wouldn't notice it.
I am very susceptible to chasing IO bonuses.
I actually had looked at Thunderstrike, and even had it in - but I was thinking about the frequency of use. I just didnt' see myself using that power too much in an iTrial situation. Still, you raised some good points.
Nemu, thanks so much for letting me keep my pet!

@Ukase
This build needs some fine-tuning. I was hoping for 30% s/l and soft-capped range and still have decent recharge.
I came close, but not quite there. I can nip a couple of slots here and there, but not enough.
Any further revisions towards that goal would be appreciated.
I would like to keep Super Speed as my travel power, but I could lose the leadership pool for fight pool - I just figured there was more utility in leadership. This build is primarily for iTrials.
