I'd say they are equal, it's what you prefer and what gear you have to support each build. If you prefer to kill moderately fast (dps) fire's the way to go, but if you prefer to do heavy damage but not necessarily fast then ice is the way to go. Since you have all the Mage moves your gear is really what matters now; consider having rings that will top out your skills (20+/20 etc... I believe that's what your max is at level 70)...
BTW in a long run a mix build will help you the most... fire for attacks and ice for its shield this way if and when you get to dragon armor the added points to moves wont be pointless...

but what would I know I'm a druid...

FIre mage in my opinion. It has overall better skills, and less energy costs

Firemage. Evades kill you as an icemage.

Id say ice only comes close when grouped.

saying Spell Evasions is the same as saying R.I.P icemages
ice mages are mostly DMG
while fire mages are mostly DPS
like for example, i tried making full ice mage, hes lvl 50 without focus gear except a wand that adds +5 foc and +1 fire lure (i tried before giving him the master grimoire)
wanted to see the highest skill hit he can get, 1176 with iceblast at lvl 50
but, the cooldown is slow, the casting time for ice blast is also a bit slow, the energy cost is higher, thats why i prefer fire mages for lvling
my fire mage lvls much faster, kills everything easily with the fast firebolt cooldown and also firestorm is pretty fast
not to mention Ice Blast got huge range, 8 meters while fire storm is 6 meters (i think, ,maybe less), and i find 8 meters worse, sometime i hit stuff i didnt want to and get killed, usually when missing with a skill hes also screwed
