You haven't really indicated how many hot or dead pixels you have, and at what shutter speeds. Dead or hot pixels are an unfortunate fact of life with digital cameras.
On my own camera, I didn't record any dead pixels at any shutter speed, and I am not getting any hot pixels until over 1/2 second, at which time they seem to jump exponentially in number as the exposure time increases.
