You can do SO much more with a blizzard sorc! You might need to gain some levels/get better gear. Yes the lightning sorceress IS better; BUT it requires the "infinity" runeword which is ungodly expensive - I'd go with either pure blizzard or firewall/orb until you're flush with runes.

I'm level 90 with better gear: I have 65-max resistances, abilities are at level 32, 115% FCR, 420 MF. VERY IMPORTANT get an etherial Cryptic Axe or Thresher for merc + high defense TREACHERY armor and lifesteal helmet (Tals deathmask, or andarials visage). Use Shift + # to heal merc with potions (rejuvs best).

My standard run:

Andarial
Cows
Arcane Santuary (for keys)
Travincal (only if they're easier to kill - otherwise ignore)
Mephisto
Chaos Sanctuary (can be done ~5 min. Your merc is KEY as he's the only thing that kills ranged chaos knights. You'll want to use teleport to redirect his attacks - he will need to solo a decent number of them). Run away from cold immune guys as much as needed - aim to kill diablo.
Pindle
Nithalk (Teleport to him - there is a pattern you can learn amongst the wall paterns/map layouts). Drop a blizzard on him (not minions) and kill/grab key - GET OUT this place is dangerous.
Baal (merc will need to kill 2nd wave of cold immune skeletons).
