About the cold mastery thing. I read somewhere about this 1.10s sorcie with fully-synergized blizzard and maxed cold mastery.
According to the player, the high cold mastery could pierce through most hell cold immune monsters. (Last time I checked cold resist is a straight reduction in 1.10.) That left just the occasional boss of cold immune type monster, which spawned cold enchanted, putting the total resists at 200%+ and thus unpiercable. But merc can take care of that, I guess.
So maybe orb/max cold mastery could perhaps be enough for your needs, which leaves lots of pts free for icebolt (synergy of orb), energy shield, etc.
