CL/FO Sorc for evaluation

Keep in mind, please, that this is for magic find in solo games. I want her to be effective in Baal runs, but not to the point that her ability to deal with immunes is compromized. Also note that this gear is NOT optimized. This is the gear I have on the character who will become my sorceress. Currently she is lvl 1 and waiting for a rush that will not eat up her forge.

My main concerns are:

-Life
-Faster Cast Rate
-MF
-Merc
-Other possible gear.

In that order. I have NO IDEA what merc to use here, I was thinking A2 Defiance, but I am simply not sure. All input is welcome. Special thanks to the people who responded to my Shield for Max Block thread. Your help let this character get close to my goals for blocking, life, and resistances. Thanks a bunch. The only reason I would look at other possible gear would be because it offered massively more MF while retaining the same firepower. Affordablity IS a concern.

All that being said, here goes:
