I did this quest on my Warlock, and in order to be able to collect the ice chunks, I had to do two things:
1) Put pet on passive. The demon would attack the ice blocks when I attacked, and when the block was broken, I could not loot any ice.
2) Use melee attcks to chop the ice blocks.
One of these blocks dodged me once -.-

What to do
Description
Ice this time? Hoo boy, sure. I've got good news and bad news for you. The good news is there's a bunch of pure solid ice over in the Ice Thistle Hills cavern, straight east from Everlook. The bad news is there's also a bunch of vicious yetis in there. But if you can handle the yeti, hey, piece of cake! Just walk right up to the bigger chunks and crack 'em open with your weapon. Bring it all back to me and I'll do my thing.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Seril's Boast
Brutes and amateurs. It doesn't matter how sharp or heavy your weapon is if all it's good for is hacking like an ogre. I could go on and on about finesse and speed and balance and control... but it's easier to one-up these fools. Tell Deez we've got one more order for him. I need a block of ice.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Ice Delivery
Alright, one high-quality, pure grade Instant Ice Block! I tried selling these to people for protection for a while. Y'know, like that trick you see mages pull? Couldn't figure out the whole "breathing" thing, though.
