Remaking my HC Blizzard sorceress

Ok, my level 81 Blizzard Meph runner sorceress died to a pack of whatever enchanted dolls last week and I am rebuilding. I know all about the Blizzard synergies but I am thinking about survival. My last runner made it through about 500 runs before dying and I am curious whether I could have built her differently to help ensure the survival that is necessary in hardcore.
Using the moat trick I can easily kill Mephisto and really don't need to max out the synergies to do so. Therefore, would placing a point in ES and maxing out Telekineses protect her? I could also change out a little equipment & use a nightsmoke belt and perhaps a few other items but what I am curious about is keeping this girl alive.
All she is going to do is run hell Meph. Nothing else.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

P.S. Please don't recommend any truly exotic runeword armor or way over the top, hard to find items. I want maxed resistances, Dwarfstar (allows me to stand next to the hydras the council puts out with no damage) and the other normal items. I also wear/use wizard spike, vipermagi, magefists and 1 other FCR item to achieve the 110% teleportation rate.

For survival I see just one viable option - go max block if last sorc was a vita one.

Max block with SS (dr %). Mayby full tal's set: huge life/mana boost, nice +skills, 15% more dmg, decent mf

I use orb sorc with es, and max block.i have no probs in surviving. i use full tr, whistan, frosts etc basic items. It nice nice meph runner!

My last sorceress had max block with Whitstans. She also had about 1100 life. I plan on going with block again but I am just curious whether a 1 point ES with maxed Telekenesis would make the run through the Durance safer?

Not likely. It would rather make the energy ball empty enough for you to be unable to tele away just when you need to. So at first - you'd lose less life, and then - would be stuck until you drink a mana potion.

Also, remember that ES takes affect before your absorb, so if you have it up, your drawf star wont be absorbing the hydras, your ES will. At least thats the way I understand it.........

CtA on switch, also a bad one gives almost 50% more life + mana +1 to skills.
No full TR, because you can not get 105% FCR, and look after your FHR, very important.
