i wrote a whole response to this yesterday but when i went to post, the firewall at work wouldn't allow me too 
here's the brief version:
Pick one tree, minus Orb/Meteor and a few other col/fire builds, the 1 tree is the only viable build now. Due to synergies, which i'm sure you have looked at/read about, in order to get the dmg you need to invest in more than 1 skill. therefore, you lose ~60 skill points to really "max" a skill. read guides on here and on www.battle.net/forums.shtml <--- the skill discussion forum and www.d2jsp.org <--- click on forusm and then PvP or w/e the build thread is. Chose one that looks the best and go from there. (The guides on here tend to suck however).
Nova sucks now by the way, blizz is easily dodged PvP, i'd say meteor / orb if u must go 2 trees, otherwise go for a 200fcr Fire Sorc if you can obtain the gear or a 105fcr dmg fire sorc / light sorc. Sorcs are REALLY gear dependant to do well PvP, so keep this in mind.
Dex = enough for max block IF YOU WANT BLOCK.. if not then none. Use this Max Block calculator , also very useful info here: http://dpw.bounceme.net/d2/
Vit = all if you are NOT GOING Energy Shield... if ES, then you will have to look up on guides regarding this, not familiar with ES builds
Ene = All or Mixture of Vit/Ene for an ES build, otherwise NONE.
Str = Enough for Gear WITH Items / Charms / Torch / Anni on.. including with end game Rings/Ammy/Circlets/etc .. anything that gives str.
You should check out the guides, and figure out what sorc to go ... the guides will list gear and skills as well.. GL bro.
