Hey all, just wanted to post what I've come up with after playing around with a bunch of different combinations:

5pc Julianos, with heavy helm and medium arm corps (set bonuses: crit, mag, crit, spell dmg)
3pc Elemental Succession - breeches, shoes, ring (set bonuses: mag, spell dmg)
3pc Willpower - necklace, ring, destro/resto staff (set bonuses: mag, spell dmg)
All armor infused, with magic enchants
Weps infused, with magic absorb

All attribute points in magic, champ points are standard caster build (300)

It's pretty easy to get 12-15k dps.

Skill bars:
Destro - Crystal Frag, Force Pulse, Velocious Curse, Unstable Clannfear, Elemental Ring, Energy Overload
Resto - Lightning Flood, Power Surge, Healing Ward, Unstable Clannfear, Hardened Ward, Energy Overload
Overload - Daedric Minefield, Hardened Ward, Inner Light, Bound Aegis, Endless Fury

Playstyle:
(Optional pre-pull: Go into Overload, activate Inner Light and Bound Aegis, then drop buffed up Daedric Minefeild, exit Overload and re-summon Clannfear)
Buff with Power Surge and Hardened Ward
Initiate combat with heavy attack from fire or ice destro staff
Follow immediately with Velocious Curse on same target, the Clannfear will agro this one, so turn attention to other mobs if present
AOE with Lightning Flood and Elemental Ring as needed
Reapply Curse after it explodes
Otherwise Forse Pulse everything until Crystal Frags procs
Light attack weave on all skills
Go into Overload if its maxed or you're out of magic, pop Inner Light and Bound Aegis, spam light attacks , drop mines, or execute spam boss with Endless Fury
...profit!

Let me know what yall think. :)

    5 Julianos, 3 Willpower (jewelry), Maelstrom Staff, and 2 Nerienth will probably be better gear.

    Just wanted to point out that this doesn't work.

    Your damage is scaled to your current stats. That means it's irrelevant with which buffs you drop daedric minefield, what matters is what your buffs are once the enemy walks through them.

    THIS. Julianos is good, but overrated. My next Magicka Sorc build is going to be TBS with Thief+Shadow, and I expect to have 20K+ DPS with excellent sustain and NO GIMMICKS.

    Both the TBS and Julianos setups look promising, I am curious which will be stronger.

    I have a question though:
    Can someone help me out here, in looking at all of these setups no one has anything devoted to Magicka regen. How do you manage sustain with these setups?

    Put magicka regen enchants on your jewelry and go for the regen Mundus.

    Elemental drain.

    The Mundus Stone seems reasonable, but wont work with the Thief+Shadow TBS build idea. Putting magicka regen enchants on the jewelry seems a really bad idea given the scaling on v16 gold spell damage enchantments. It seems key to keep those.

    Elemental drain seems reasonable and works fairly well (until you get low on resources), but coming up with a slot for it is tough on an real team PVE DPS build . I currently run:

    Single target: Vel. Curse, Crushing Shock, Crystal Frags, Bound Aegis, Mage Lt.
    AOE: Liquid Lightning, Pulsar, Power Surge, Bound Aegis, Mage Lt.

    I have tried moving Power Surge to the Ult bar and pulling Elemental drain on to the AOE bar, but the amount of bar switching with the occasional lag was a pain and really hurt my DPS.

    Yeah on a team PVE build you need your healer to run it. If the healer doesn't run it he's a bad healer.

    In solo you need to take out some damage to incorporate it yourself - like in the maelstrom arena.

    On a 300 CP build I'd advise magicka cost reduction over Magicka Regen.
