Heya, I'm trying to reach -200 enemy light res but I'm stuck at -120 and I dont have any cold pierce yet. The reason, I'm using Elemental Children set and really really want to do Astrogha. So I guess it's really hard to get this right?

Would unique jewels be an option to add - enemy res?

Best option would be socketing crafted jewels with 5-6% lightning damage and 15% EF on most of them. If you can reach 20k mana this will compensate lack of enemy pierce. I used the same set back in time with -160 lgth pierce and ~50k Thuderstone damage. This is enough to kill Astro in 3-4 hits.

Would it additionally be a good idea to put - enemy light res on all the set parts until I reach -200?

Legend.
You can craft a better helm. You can use ornate or eerie shrines and look for +skills, % to energy or spell damage on a diadem or tiara. You can try to find sacred gloves and boots and craft them similarly. Then you can socket them with some awesome spell damage jewels and try to get the % to requirements modifier on them so you don't have to invest too many points into strength.
I don't mean to dwell...but I can't help myself.

Okay, so I'm using full Elemental Children set, plus most charms that give - enemy res and I have MO'ed every item I have with -enemy light res.

The only thing is that I'm using Empyrean band rings now so that means only -15 enemy light res max per ring. My amulet has +3 skills now and light arena and a nice amount of -enemy light res so that's definitely a big help.

I think it might be possible to roll rare rings with -20 already preset on it +15% so that's 40% that I get extra. That makes it so that I get to -180 enemy light res. That's where I'm stuck now since every other item I can possibly get it on has the stat.

Would it be a better idea to use a crafted belt instead of Ashaera's armor in order to get -200 enemy light res total, or would it be a better idea to do it some other way?

Btw, I love this sorc as a Bartuc farmer, he dies superfast, I just can't kill all the golems so this means I have to start a new game each and every time which is kind of annoying.

If Bartuc dies golems are still killable. Just watch out the Immolation Bombs :)
