Twin Stars of Carnage: Arctic Scimitar
 
#2
Okay, I'm commenting on this based on Ice Blast; I don't have any experience with the Cold support secondary, so I'll leave that to Fox or something. He's got an Ice/Cold.
Anyway...I've already commented about inadequate damage slotting in the other thread. I won't repeat that here; besides, as you say, this is intended for more of a multi-role.
I do note that you've actually slotted more damage into your AoE attacks - Ice Storm and Ice Breath have two damage enhancements, versus the solitary one in your single target blasts.
That's kind of backwards. I know that I was singing the virtues of an AoE-centric strategy in the Rad/Rad corruptor thread... but the thing is... Ice Blast is considered the king (or queen, depending on your preferences) of single-target damage. It is regarded by some as the best single target damage set - due to the short animations and high damage of the three single-target blasts.
The conventional wisdom is to max out Ice Bolt, Ice Blast, and Bitter Ice Blast for damage and make those your mainstay, possibly with a range enhancement or two in Bitter Ice Blast. On that note, I think you've left Bitter Ice Blast too late in the build; I'd pick it up earlier, perhaps even over one of the AoEs. But that's your choice, of course.
It does bear mentioning that Ice Storm in particular is better for corruptors than blasters/defenders, due to fact it Scourges pretty well. So it's fine putting emphasis on that one.
I would, though, go ahead and put three damage enhancements in Blizzard. Blizzard is the highest damage AoE attack in the game. Seriously. If it's allowed to complete all the damage ticks, it is the highest damage nuke in the game. So max that sick puppy out. If you must enhance the debuff aspect, I highly recommend putting a slow enhancement in it, not a ToHit Debuff.
