Hello
I am sorry to dissappoint you, but for breaking immunity, lower+Cold Mastery is practically useless.
As Jarulf pointed out in his damage mechanics thread, cold mastery gets applied ONLY IF THE TARGET IS NOT IMMUNE, that is only if the immunity has been broken.
That leaves your party with your 60% lower resist. For breaking immunities, that translates to 12%, so anything above 111% cold resist will stay immune - which is most of the cold immune monsters in the game.
In practice, even with a high level conviction AND lower resist cold immunes remain cold immunes many times, since they have cold resistances up to 200%.
Sorry for the bad news
Happy hunting!
