Ice / Ice tanker build - As per in-game request

This is the build plan that I'm following for an ice / ice / energy tank named Frost Yeti. It doesn't do good damage for quite a while and it'll never be a good choice for soloing purple bosses - single target damage is just too low for that. But, it's a team tank that holds aggro well and it's reasonably sturdy.

As an FYI, for whatever reason the forums will mess up the data link if you preview your post, or if you go back and edit your post.

Also as an FYI for anyone looking for an IO'd out Ice/Ice Tanker build, I just posted one yesterday in GooglyMoogly's thread in the Tanker forum.

Any thoughts on the SO build above?

The goals are a sturdy team tank with good aggro control, reasonable endurance management, and reasonably good AOE damage -- with the key price paid for these things being lower single target damage.

As one tweak I'm considering, I might drop a defense enhancer from EA, put in an end mod instead, and take maneuvers late in the build -- to soft cap even against hard single targets and also to (hopefully) allow EA to produce a net endurance gain, even with one mob.

Any feedback to make the build reach it's goals better (especially sturdiness) would be helpful and appreciated -- other than "IO up", which I won't be doing.

PS: The one for whom this post was originally intended may still find the IO'd up ice/ice tank post quite helpful, of course.
