Meteor Baal runner

I have a frozen orb sorc and was thinking, what about a meteor mf runner for baal? Baal isn't known for his mobility and when a meteor falls out of the heavens it seems to hurt alot. Would it be a viable build to run baal with? I know that you would have to go with someone to make short work of his minions since they are fire immune. He would also be a very good mephisto runner as well if you skip the councel guys. My problem is that i would have to run with someone to beat the last guys because any merc ive ever made cant beat the minions of destruction and i'm on non-ladder so carrying infinity is a no-no. simply too rich for my blood.

If I made this sorc, would it be wise to invest points into inferno for the fire dmg per second?

Also, is a fire sorc that expensive to make? I've never made one so i was wondering about it.

Any ideas and input would be greatly appreciated.

I currently use a meteorb sorc and I run baal every game. Meteor does have great damage but its not exactly the best skill to use against Baal since he seems to have a tendency to either walk out of the meteor target or walk out of the fire once it has dropped (I don't know if this is actually programmed or if its just horrible luck 100% of the time). He does move/teleport around a lot when he is constantly being hurt (i.e. standing in the meteor fire). I find it MUCH easier to simply spam frozen orb and fireball when its cooling down for a constant attack and he's usually down in at least 10 seconds (infinity merc ;P)

Meteorb or Blizzball would be way better than pure fire. There are simply too many fire immunes on Hell difficulty.

You can pretty much kill Baal's lackluster movement by giving your Merc Reaper's Toll. As soon as Baal gets Decreped, his already crappy AI goes down the toilet.

if i remember correctly infernos damage is glitched, like artic blast.
