Help w/ Character & Build for LL Hell Run

Back in 1.09 I played a character to see how low level I could be and make
it through the game (must get all WPs and Quests). I ended up dying to NM
Ancients at L18. I'd like to try something similar in 1.10, but I'm not
interested in starting from the beginning. Rather, I thought I'd just try to
get through Hell.

So what Level, Character and Build do you think I should try? And any
suggestions as to gear?

I'd like to start out in the 30-40 level area if practical. That will give
me access to all the skills and a good selection of items. I figure with the
level difference, a melee/missile character would be impractical.
Particularly for act end boss's where ITD doesn't work. So that cuts down
the possibilities considerably. Teleport would be invaluable for this
project, but a Sorc is mighty fragile. BS is magic damage so that might be a
way to go, with some sort of Marrow wearing Cheezmancer (oops, L66 for
Marrow, scratch that). Or is there some mid level bow that would make a GA
Zon able to kill?

For now I'm thinking about a L42 FB Sorc. That'll give me 49 skill points,
so: max FB and Bolt, one in Warmth, Armor, Teleport, and Mastery, and a few
in Static. Add in a wand of LR and I should be able to kill nonFIs. L42
opens up some nice items for her too like an Occy and Skillers. For a merc,
I think anything but maybe an A3 cold guy would be useless.

So what do y'all think, any suggestions?
