It's not just you, teleport is insanely helpful for surviving in Hardcore. I had a hard time giving it up and found I had to overgear my current zone a bit in order to replace it without a high chance of dieing. Although now with better crit gear I don't see myself ever needing it.
If I stuck with teleport I'd be tempted to use Explosive Blast with Shortfuse instead of Meteor since unlike Meteor I'd have to be within range to damage, and I can teleport out when needed. Plus you really don't have to worry about arcane power with explosive blast. Just the 6sec cooldown that shouldn't be an issue with crit gear, evocation, and critical mass.
Keep us updated how you're doing. Mobs hit me a bit harder than I'd like in my first few steps of Inferno. Thinking of getting 500 resists(from 300) before going further.
*edit - glad I didn't wait to enter Inferno. Full run up to Skeleton King went smoothly, even against tougher champion packs (vortex + arcane + anything). Getting a ton of ilvl 61/62 now and foresee skeleton runs being a great source of items and money for the near future.
