Actually Blizzard says just the opposite is true:
"Hopefully this will clear up any confusion that is currently widespread regarding spell resistances as well as reinforce the fact that since these reports back come in, QA really has tested spell resistances thoroughly and found that they are working in 1.7.0 exactly the same way that they were working in 1.6.1.
Firstly, as you all know, the following note is included in the patch 1.7.0 patch notes:
Debuffs and area effect spells now use their actual cast level rather than effective cast level for calculating periodic resistance.
In better terms, this means that Debuffs and area effect spells now use their adjusted cast level rather then the level the spell became available when calculating periodic resistance. For example, Blizzard rank 5 (a spell learned at level 52) cast by a level 60 mage should be considered cast by a level 60 caster not a level 52 caster."
I'm not saying what you are saying is untrue; I'm just saying that that's what they're saying.
