I'm still playing with a lvl85 cold sorc started waaaaay back in 1.06, all the way through all the patches and the expansion. She started out lightning, but then I discovered frozen orb (didn't know it was so cool, played solo). Because of this, she's got a lot of wasted skills, but still manages to kick some serious ass.
My tactic with cold immunes is usually ignore them, except if I really have to kill them. If I have to, I use fire wall and static field, sometimes even nova.
These skills work because I have 100% faster cast: Skin-Vipermagi (30) + Wizardspike (50) + Lidless Wall (20). After playing with this char, I struggle to start new sorceresses, because it's so irritating to start out with such a slow cast rate.
Another thing is, with a 100% faster cast, teleport becomes absolutely crazy. If you've got enough hit recovery, you can pretty much get away from anything, especially cold immunes. This is commonly known as "running away", but I prefer to think of it as a "tactical retreat" :)
