Poison damage does much more damage than it really does, in that is does its normal damage, and it also removes any regeneration from a monster. So if they are regenerating 100 life per second, and your poison does 100 damage per second, you are, for all purposes, doing 200 life per second. The same with physical if you have prevent monster heal.
And about the cold... It chills enemies, making it safer (and frozen orb, for example, can hit enemies more reliably [than magic hammer] from a farther distance away), and safer is better in HC.
