About the fire skills in general - I found out that with certain items it is possible to kill decently with fire skills even with players 8 in hell. You just have to give him a lot of %fire damage increase and -enemy fire resists items (namely some of those unique jewels). Thus I totally had about +60% fire damage (which applies to your total skill damage) and -65% to enemy resistance (which again, helps the overall damage by lowering monsters resists); which gave me at least 2.5 times my original damage, and I was able to kill decently in the said players 8. Of course, like I mentioned before, I had to spam wolves to keep monsters away from me and in the same spot, and any fire immunes sent me on the run (a boss with fire immunity regenerated HPs faster then my lvl 38 volcano could damage it), but it was fun having to pay attention to a battle and stay on your toes, and spamming, spamming, spamming wolves :)
