I suggest you keep your glaiver. A blader does appauling damage, even with a sosun weapon, and with ice as an imbue, the damage will be even weaker. As an ice blader you cant expect to kill much in pvp and grinding will be unbearably slow.
A pure str fire glaiver will give you great damage, tons of hp, and you still have decent defense. Your crits are much more effective, and a str glaiver is overall a more team friendly build for guild wars, jobing and such scenarios where you shouldnt knock down your opponent.
The only purpose of going and ice blader would be if you want to massively tank stuff.

Continue your Glavie... it takes a lot of time to grind using Blade i think its the most slowest of all pure str's to lvl(just my opinion, i already tested blade and its on Olympus only it just up to lvl 17, and i quit cause its too slow to lvl, but hey it has good def. and a lucky BR). and also glavie char. have tremendous HP and Dmg. so continue glavie.
Look down if your planning to make a blader.
better take fire than ice on blader...
if you want to be a tanker type of blader take then take ice.the downfall though is that high lvl such as lvl 70 + have ice emmunity.
take fire you get the more damage and it has the physical buff, and mag. def. buff.

go for blader but use force as your subclass...if you want to be one of the coolest char go for blade.. everyone hates blader. if you want to annoy someone in pvp u can go for ice blader but you sucks.

Stick with your glaive. It would be a waste if you stopped and created a blader, all that time spent on your glaiver was in vain then. Besides, they are right when they say that a blader is ungodly slow at leveling. It takes an enormous amount of time to level, and thats not even including time for farming for all of the necessary skills. Stick with tyour glaiver, you've invested to much into it for you to stop now.

glavie
if it was a 80 ice blader fully farmed you could always turn it in to an archer, but it doesn't worth it to lvl n ice blader.
