Can anyone give me the best possible merc for a Cold sorc to help deal with immunes?

I was thinking:

Eth Andy Visage (Ral or 15% ias jewel)
Fortitude or Treachery Ebug (depending on breakpoints of weapon IAS)
BOTD / Obedience / Eth Reapers Toll / Eth Tomb Reaver

Which will produce the most dmg while maintaining a good level of survivability?

Has anyone besides darajuju read what he needs?

- cold sorc
- survivability
- dmg

Considering a cold sorc and the NN for infinity, go with:

Sorry for spam, nog:

I still laugh at myself because the first high runeword I ever made was BOTD in a phase blade for a zealer.

Static only gets down 50% in hell. Cb is just bonus
