Just wanted to add, I think Ice got a bad rep but yeah, the damage resistance was way low so the best you could hope for was teammate buffs for resistances. Plus making sure you had capped HP for a tank was pretty sweet (hoarfrost perma). Couple that with Chilling Embrace's and Darkest Night's -damage components, and if the enemies are in range, they don't hit very hard at all when they do. Of course, I preferred Darkest Night on my highly resistant tanks/brutes for its -ToHit portion (and more damage protection with the same -dmg debuff was pretty ungodly). Soul Mastery was a really nice APP for tanks and brutes imho.
