Having just a single damage type is a bad idea, especially if you don't have a party that can deal with those immunes. Cold mastery doesn't need to be maxed for PvM, so you should have plenty of points left for a fire or lightning skill. They don't all suck :). Some are extremely powerful, and about all of them can be hell-viable with enough skill points and enough skill. Just pick one of the powerful ones and start boosting that and the mastery. If you equip your mercenary well, you could also get another source of damage there, though you'd still be best off dealing several types yourself.
