Wands of Lower Resist should be pretty popular with sorcs. Even if they fix the 'double cast' bug where you can lower resist twice to break immunity and shatter normal resists, lower resist+cold immunity would still work I hope. That'd enable you a few seconds to take down crowds. Unfortunately, I don't think cold spells have the strength to follow through with that.
Another thing to consider is using items with -%Cold resistance. Does anyone have any idea how these items work with Cold Mastery?
I also thought that cold mastery was supposed to be a percentage reduction and not a straight reduction like Conviction. Blizzard has said a couple times that they were going to make it percentage based, but I'm not sure if they ever did or not.
