I don't think it's as simple as you describe. For example, Silence is obtainable at level 30 (which I did). However, the 50 turtles in the Hinterlands aren't resisting it. (I don't normally silence turtles but they were convenient :D)
Is it possible that only secondary effects (secondary being in the eye of the developer) are subject to this? For example, while my Shadow Word: Pain might not see higher resists now, my blackout procs will?
Similarly with Fireball and Impact? Frost Nova's freezing effect is in addition to a straight damage effect. Counterspell mechanics are slightly different than Silence (has to be cast during a spell cast) so the fact that Silence appears to be working doesn't necessarily say anything about Counterspell.
Is it possible this is related to what Lissa reported about Growl not being effective? Let's say Growl rank 4 is learned at level X by the pet, but it's been quite a while since a rank up. Resisted Growls are a big problem for the hunter....
