MC monk no longer gives all weapons as implements, but instead simply allows the use of the Ki Focus implement, which works on all weapon and implement attacks, witho0ut class restrictions.
Your info is out of date.
There's also a somewhat iffy argument that the Frost part of the frost weapon is not an enhancement bonus, critical hit effect or magic item property - it's a power - so a Ki Focussed Frost Weapon still makes everything with the Weapon keyword Cold. You definitely wouldn't get Cold on Implement powers though.

I think the Iron Body Ki fits the theme of the "tanky ranger" very well, if you get frost cheese on top of that it would be great. I'm surprised I don't see it more often.

Opportunity cost seem prohibitive. You could grab impoved initiative or battlewise or both.
However, the build wasn't made to go first, I think it was made to be the last man standing.

Wood Elf. Sacrifices the overall durability but can get you some great initiative. Also opens up Sarifal FeyWarden to go with the Frost Package.

Wood elf, lol. Pretty sure LDB would have an opinion about giving up +1 to hit from starting Strength at 16 after racial adjustements.

Switch Bastard Swords to Rapiers/Light Blade Expertise. It does mean the build needs to up the dex for when/if you hit 24th, but it essentially means the same damage and a free feat. Which can then be spent on Improved/Superior Initiative.

I was considering Two-Weapon Fighting, since it doesn't take any of the later feats and it doesn't seem to be serving as a pre-req for anything else in the build that I noticed.

18/10/15/10/15/8 @LvL 1.
21/11/16/11/18/9 @LvL 11.
And you have an great perception to use for your initiative.
Optimal? No.
Optional? Yes.

curious because generally a striker in order to become effective needs to start first to take position or kill the hardest guy using his super dpr.. IMO
