Well i rather use deaths sash and glove no matter wat for a low level9 dueler. Cannot be frozen really helps coz ppl seem to run away a lot when ur frozen in hc.
EDIT: The charms lvl9 duelers wear in hc are life charms and the large 50poison dmg charms...which equals deaths poison resistance helps!
but you guys are gonna iron man duel anyway so i dont think you will have a sogons or deaths set in your disposal anyway.
