[Advice Needed] Guide to a Sorcerer

Hello,

I have only had one character till know, a Stam DK Imperial, which I started the game with around 8/9 months ago. I have slightly over 401 CPs. Recently, I have been wanting to make a Sorcerer, however.

I created a Dark Elf which is at level 20 now. I am looking for a link to an updated Build of a Sorcerer DPS+Tank or whatever is the the best build for that class. I would like to know the following

1. CP Allocation
2. Skill Points (I am for now putting everything in Magicka)
3. Gear + Jewelry (Also, if I should put Tri-Stat on everything or Maximum Magicka?)
4. Should I use all Light Armor? Or 5 light and 2 medium?
5. Finally, which skills to use.

Any suggestions are welcome, and if someone has a link to a video, I would be more than happy to look at it.

Thank you!

    Occanum is used mostly for PvP and pledges. I have no interest
    in grinding BiS gear from instances. My days of competitive
    game are over. This is a casual build. Also note, I'm at 403 CP.

    Potion

    Gear
    Weight
    If you have the Undaunted Mettle passive go 5/1/1 for 6% buff to attributes. If not, go all light.

    Sets
    Allot of min/max Sorcs are using setups similar to this:
    • 2x Molag Kena, Divines
    • 5x Julianos - Divines, Magicka
    • 3x Willpower - Spell Power
    • 2x 1H Sword - Torug's Pact
    • 1x Inferno Maelstrom Staff

    I'm working on a new PvP setup based around Vicious Death. For now I use the following in PvP & PvE:
    • 2x Magnus' Gift, Divines, Magicka
    • 5x Julianos - Divines, Magicka
    • 3x Willpower - Spell Power
    • 1x Inferno Staff - Magnus' Gift - Nirnhoned (PvE & PvP)
    • 1x Restoration Staff - Magnus' Gift - Nirnhoned (PvP)
    • 2x 1H Sword - Magnus' Gift (PvE)

    Skills
    PvP
    This is my standard setup for groups plus some alternatives. Not recommend for small group or solo play.
    • Destro Bar: Crystal Fragments, Force Pulse, Velocious Curse, Critical Surge, Inevitable Detonation, Ice Comet
        - I swap Elemental Ring for Velocious Curse when rushing the pin or busting a train. Also frequently swap Ice Comet for Barrier when hitting a breach or hostile resource tower.
    • Resto Bar: Rapid Regeneration, Ward Ally, Harness Magicka, Hardened Ward, Streak, Energy Overload
        - I frequently swap Rapid Regeneration for Boundless Storm or Daedric Minefield
    • Overload Bar: Crystal Fragments, Velocious Curse, Harness Magicka, Hardened Ward, Streak, Energy Overload
        - You could throw Daedric Minefield in here too

    Thank you guys! This is exactly what I was looking for. I will try to build my Sorcerer around these skills and CPs. Still got a long way to V16 but I am enjoying the character already. :D
