Help Me Plz, Kinda Stuck

Well hi and I'd just like to say this is my first post here, and I'm looking forward to being on these forums! Well I'm requesting just abit of help, and I'd gladly appreciate it if you could help me! I got D2 last summer, I played a bit, never really got into it. My first char was a Ladder barb that I didn't really stick to a build with, I screwed it up horribly to put that short. Next I made another barb, this time a more WW oriented build with some tweaks to it. It came out okay but not great.. So I decided on a Blizzard sorc as my third char, I did pretty well, I did Baal runs in Normal till level 50 then got rushed into Nm and then Baal until level 70, currently I'm level 82 and stuck basically. I have a decision to make so far, here is my current stats (Without +skill item modifiers on them).

CM-20
Blizz-20
Ice Blast-20
Ice Bolt-20
Tele-1
Warmth-1
Telekinesis-1
Glacial Spike-3 (Gonna at least get to 5 for Synergy, dunno if I should go with maxing Glacial or Teleport)
Teleport-1 (Dunno about maxing this or Glacial Spike)
And pretty much 1 in the prerequisites, too lazy to list them.
My stats are as follows (With gear on)
Strength-62
Dexterity-49
Vitality- 370
Energy-97
Life-1112, Mana-721
With Ice Blast (My left click spell) I'm only doing 2091-2167 damage and with Blizzard (Man is this embarassing) 3323-3505 damage, it sucks I know. I think I should max Glacial Spike for more dmg because my teleport is 10 with my gear (My item bonuses add up to +9 in skills), my current items are:

Occulus
Shako
Tal Belt
Tal Ammy
27% Nagel
Infernostride boots (Just something I grabbed until I can get War Travs)
Frostburn
Lidless Wall (With P diamond)
Que-Hegans Mage Plate (With P Topaz)
And a crappy ring with 10 percent FCR and 11 percent Mf until I can get better.

I also have alot of trouble soloing Hell. I tried to solo mf Andy and I got owned before I even got to Catacombs Three, I think I'm not doing enough damage, I think my gear needs upgrading, and I need help on stats. So therein lies my problem, what gear should I get? I was gonna plan on getting Tal Armor but I dunno if I'm that rich.. I'm not too rich in terms of items and I need some advice on better sorc gear, and if anyone wants to donate, <insert noobish begging statement here>, Lol jkin but I would like some advice on items that aren't too costly or anything that you can see that would help me out, thank you very much in advance btw.

1) You need 1 level in teleport. That's it.

2) You also need a merc that can combat cold immunes.

3) You should do a lot more from Blizzard. You should max Glacial Spike pronto!

4) Get resistance charms.

5) You need a second form of attack. Best is Static Field. There is no excuse nowadays not to have Static Field in any build. I can't believe the many sorceresses that don't get it. One level will do.

Upping skins will bring the def up to around 850+ going well over 900... this is worth the upping. But remember that the str goes up too, I think its about 59 or so, still nothing to crazy.

1) You need 1 level in teleport. That's it. Indeed. FCR to help with the teleporting is essential. If you teleport into a boss pack without fcr your dead

2) You also need a merc that can combat cold immunes. Get a might merc for cold immunes. Be warned - alot of mobs are cold immune! You will also need to feed your merc pots alot unless he has decent damage/ll

3) You should do a lot more from Blizzard. You should max Glacial Spike pronto! Glacial Spike is also good as a left click attack. It freezes the mobs and even in hell the dur. is still beneficial. Hit the enemies with a couple of glacial spikes and then a blizzard.

4) Get resistance charms. And +skill charms ;)

5) You need a second form of attack. Best is Static Field. There is no excuse nowadays not to have Static Field in any build. I can't believe the many sorceresses that don't get it. One level will do.This is so true. Static field cuts a battle down tremendously even in hell. Let your merc take the hits, run in and static for roughly 10 seconds. Do it for much longer and I find the mobs start hitting you.
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.
