We had a problem area that was much the same. Not only did we have ice dams running a long way up the roof but the ice formed high enough to come down behind the counter flashing and the step flashing. I'm not sure if there is step flashing involved in your roof, but if there is, I'd look into something called a reglet joint. This was the winter to test all roofs and ours has finally come through a whole winter with nary a leak. We just reroofed our house (only 5 years after the first time).
