I don't have a straight answer for you, but here are some numbers to help other people answer:
slvl 20 Glacial Spike, with Blizzard (synergy) at slvl 20 does 225-242 damage over a radius of 2.6.
slvl 20 Ice Blast with Blizzard at slvl 20 does 657-692 damage to one target.
Glacial Spike does damage to every monster it freezes.
If I was making a cold Sorc, I probably wouldn't use an armor. Instead, I would max out Blizz, Ice Blast, Glacial Spike, and Cold Mastery (remaining points in Ice Bolt). Just don't get hit! That's what teleport is for.
