Its been a long time since I played live, so making a direct comparison isn't really possible, but I don't remember pulling my hair out as much as I do here with resists on my necro.
It just isn't worth it trying to grind high blue mobs because regularly snare/darkness will get resisted twice and result in losing pet and having to resummon (which isnt too bad) and organize 2 more weapons (which is really annoying for the level of my pet).
Much better xp overall just to grind a steady stream of very low dark blues because then it's almost impossible to get darkness resisted twice and have to screw around remaking pet.
Some spells seem to never get resisted, like the blood boil (unless its fire immune), or vampiric curse.
So yeah my money is on resists being higher than classic.
