fire golem will absorb all the fire damage so it doesn't die. that doesn't mean that it'll prevent you from taking damage. fireball has a 1 yard splash damage, so if the fb hits the golem while you are within the splash damage, you still get hit. FB will deal full damage to you if you're within 1yrd of the explosion. merely having a firegolem will not help you absorb the attacks.
The best way to use a fire golem vs fire sorcs is to tele close to the sorc, so the golem runs after the sorc in a straight line, creating distance between you and the golem so the splash doesn't hit. Aim for a distance like a third of screen radius from the sorc, and then shoot spirit/spears. If you're too far, the golem won't be in the right place to block the fb shots. The fire golem will tank all the fbs as they don't pierce, leaving you untouched as long as the golem stays between you and the sorc. Careful though because the sorc can tele on top of you after she see sees the fire golem approach. It's all about timing.
