Shugar is pointing out the typical exploiter gear... as being icys. I like insight on the off-hand weapon normally and saves farmming for a chat ring, besides I usually sport two tower sets per character. A lot of epic gear these days however are displacing both ToD and GS. Chattering Ring is a pain in the arse to farm - I'd secure that ring first then switch to icys (easier to aquire) - not the other way around... in the meantime DT with +3 Dodge in sovereign and place +4 insight on the off-hand min II.
I wish it would have occurred to me at the time to put +4 AC on my offhand MINII but it's finished now and the larges to make a new on are allocated to other characters.
Shugar:
While I understand that Icy's are traditional, +3 Res, +4 Prot, +4 Dodge vs +5 Res, +5 Prot, +4 Insightful works for me just as well considering I'm not going to make another Tier III GS weapon anytime soon. It also save me from having to slot in +5 Prot and Resist elsewhere or go short. As it stands with my current gear, I'm hitting mid-70's Raid Buffed and pushing high 70's vs Favored. I've tanked VoD on Hard already and barely got scratched. That's really about as far as I expected to take the AC on this guy. I have illusions about having enough AC to be an AC tank in Epics. Adding the +3 for the Chattering would just be a nice little bonus to pop me into the low 80's.

Jidz-Tet'ka is AC 8 +6 wis +5 will and a yellow slot when it's epic'd... Toss GFL in that slot and may change the Defenders of Siberys belt out for Colethenis's Belt (A New Invasion or ToD people seem to still be passing them up) gaining the set bonus of 2d6 more damage on anything which bleeds - That's (+7) on average.
After reading your discussion on the main boards, regarding the set I had decided to go that way but hadn't comeback to update it. So thank you for enlightening me on the value of the set.
Side Note: The cloak is awesome. I wish I had made more for other characters.
