Frozen Orb Damage.....specifics needed

It will help, but not much.

Let's say you have 400% cold resistance (on Normal difficulty), capped at 75% (so char screen shows 75%).

90% cold mastery would reduce this to 40%. If you were in Hell, voila, -60% resistance, in NM you're at zero. Unless you can reach more than 750% cold resistance on Normal (or 1750% in Hell :o ), using +max cold resist gear is waste of equipment slots (against this sorc).

Now consider most well-built PvP sorcs have CM between 93 and 95%.
