diablo-3
In Act IV and end of III (normal) I've started encountering elite mobs that are "frozen" and release some king of "frozen orbs" that freeze me. Is there a way to avoid being frozen other then moving away?
p.s.
I'm playing as a wizard, but info for all classes is appreciated.
The spell best suited for this is Shock Pulse with the rune Living Lightning.
The spell has an insane amount of hits/second, however each hit deals low amounts of damage , but it adds up to the same DPS as any other spell doing the same amount of weapon damage percentage.
Combine Living Lightning with items that improve Attack Speed and you will fire an insane amount of attacks per second, with each attack producing lots of hits/second. If you fire off several Living Lightnings, you will regenate 5 Flashes of Insight in a few milliseconds after you've casted your non-signature spell.

A video showing the skill in action:
They use Shock Pulse and Living Lightning with a rune that reduces cooldowns by 1 second for every critical hit. You gain lots of critical hits with Living Lightning without critical hit gear, imagine what you get if you gear up correctly!
NOTE: I am not sure the above build works anymore, changes were made recently, but Living Lightning was unaffected.
Aside from practical experiments, you can also do some theoretical study using Blizzard's skill calculator here, and if you want to play it safe early on and choose only combinations of skills that are generally useful together, you should use "non-elective" mode for selecting skills.
The details are explained in the below video.

Is there a way to resist freezing or increase my resistance?
There is a way to reduce the duration by equipping "reduce control impairing effects by xx%" gear. As for resistance, AFAIK there is nothing to resist them.
Is there a way to break a freezing spell that was cast on me?
