Actually, I would never waste a point into the cold armors. You just shouldn't be in melee range long enough to get hit more than once, and to make defense effective you will need a lot of it, meaning high strength and you will sacrifice more desired affixes. Teleport can move you away from enemies faster than many of them can attack. Also, because you will playing with blaze, most of the time your strategy will be to run away from the enemies as they follow you. I have plenty of sorc's that are in hell mode with 400 defense or less.
The only thing I might be able to see it useful for is slowing enemies down if they ever hit you. If you decided to go with blizzard, however, then most likely they will already be chilled. If you do decide to go for a cold armor, I would suggest nothing more than one point.
