Advice on a Infernal/Ice Ranged Tank

Hi everyone,

I was going over the characters I currently have and most of them are ranged role DPS sorts. I have a few Melee and Tank characters but my personal play style leans toward ranged.

So I wanted to try a new mix and take a character down the Tank role path. There are plenty of DPS in the game, sometimes you need someone to tank well. Since I'm no expert on tanking I'm looking for opinions on this build.

I already have a ranged DPS Fire/Infernal which does pretty well, but for this theme, I wanted to go Infernal/Ice. The problem is getting the right mix of powers as it is powered by Supernatural Power, it requires a lot of Infernal poison attacks to function and create stacks of Concentration via Aspect of the Infernal. I wanted to get more Ice in there as it leans heavily towards Infernal. Originally I was going to take Ice Form, but decided on Regeneration as I want to run in Tank mode instead of Hybrid. Please tell me what you think. I will have to gear up to hit around 70 for Ego. Thanks
