Resist better than armor?

Since Elemental damage seems to be inherently better in most PvP settings, is it just better to get resist? And even then with all the curses that reduce resist, does that just make resist just as useless as armor in the end?

I honestly don't know but it feels as though Elemental damage will be more dominant in the future, especially for cold based characters like Templar with Glacial hammer, or a witch with Ice spear, cold snap, etc.

But I guess its all just speculation, since we won't know till builds specifically for PvP are invented.

Also, Cold Damage may be better than other Elemental damage by far, due to the fact that it both slows movement and cast/attack speed and can keep someone frozen for a very long time unless they have the Wanderlust boots and superb cold resist.
