This has been my experience too, from very early levels up to level 60.
However, I agree that arcane is less resistance-sensitive, and I noticed a huge difference in solo battles against +3's and +4's after I had respecced to an arcane/fire build.
That said, there's always the cruel hand of fate to account for. I've fought battles against +1's where 5 or 6 spells have been resisted in a row. Similarily though, I've fought battles against +5's and +6's or even larger mobs without getting a single resist.
I wouldn't really recommend killing orange mobs (yeah, yeah, bring on the puns) in a perspective of efficiency though, but the challenge factor is fun. ;)
