Well. We can do it the easy way, and we can do it the hard way.
EASY WAY:
I've knowledge of a fireball ES sorc who does good. Your build doesn't do good. Orb sorceresses are a joke. Q.E.D.
HARD WAY:
She had 92%. I did not suggest that. HOWEVER: She also had 800 life. Not 400, 800. In PVP, no matter your dam. red, damage WILL bypass ES. Either since it is too big for ES to absorb, or since it is poison/OW.
MAGEFIST: damage, cast, hallo? The idea is not to get hit, you need the cast rate badly. You also need the damage from +1 skill. You have BO (come on, you PVP, right?). The bonuses for BO and Frost are additive; you don't loose as much as you think you do. I really should make a table detailing the optimal faster mana regen/+% max mana setups. If I will, I'll post it here.
FIREBALL: Learn to aim :) Now really. Fireball sorceresses are for the nimble-fingered. Otherwise play an enigma boner. 20-20-1 fireball does 2.7-3.0k damage at skill lev 30. You cast at 8 frame. TS does 1.5-2k, once per second.
Basically, a fireball ES PVP-er has the following advantages over a normal fireball PVP-er:

Basically, a fireball ES PVP-er has the following advantages over a normal fireball PVP-er:
- ES comes before resists -> FOH palas won't 1-hit-kill you
<>
- You have a HUGE mana pool (she had like 3k mana after her perfect CTA), what allows easy teleport and fireball-spamming
<>
- Fast, low-damage attacks you won't put you into hit recovery that easily<>
[st]The disadvantages:- WEAK offense. Not weak, WEAK.
<>
- OW, poison.
<>
- Huge-hitting effects WILL kill you.<>

One last point: the ES sorceresses are known to be BAD at PVP. I gave you a suggestion as to the optimal ES PVP-er. A naked Blizzard sorc will always be a lot more dangerous than any ES sorc can ever hope to be.
P.S: I don't have a CTA. And I PVP. But not with an ES sorc.
- WEAK offense. Not weak, WEAK.
