Help with Cold sorc

Can someone direct me to a MF guide for a FO/Chain Lightning sorc?

I just started about a week ago but my gear isn't all that terrible. I am lvl 81 with around 1k hp and +7 to all skills.

I am wearing:
Shako with ptopaz
Silks of victor
Occy
Lidless
Goldwrap
10fcr rings with other bonuses
+1sorc skill ammy
Waterwalk
Magefist

Basically my problem is that I die EXTREMELY fast in any act in hell. Should I ditch occy for wizspike w/um? I should have a spirit monarch soon but should I use a Rhyme instead for more resist? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
