Every PvP'er except shapeshifters has Teleport in PvP. The greatest advantages of the sorc are the FCR tables, Energy Shield, and relatively high damage skills.

Whilst this is pretty much true, some good players use Firebolt in addition to Fireball as it is faster and deals about the same amount of damage at high levels (IIRC).

Hybrids are hopeless in PvP. If anyone doesn't have Cannot be Frozen, they are simply 'newb' or it doesn't really affect them.

False. +%dmg adds on top of Fire Mastery. E.g. if you have lvl 35 Fire Mastery (+268%), a 15% Ormus makes it a total of +283% (meaning a very small increase in damage). The most important stat for Fire Sorc's is FCR (you NEED at least 105% for PvP, and if you aren't making an Energy Shield build, I consider 200% to be compulsory.)

When it comes to strategies for a Fire Sorc its simple. Spam Fireballs and Tele away. If you are good enough you might want to throw in some chain-locking against certain opponents.
