Magicka DK gear question/help PvE

Hello everyone,
Currently I have a Dunmer MagDK as my main ( I love playing him, he's a ton of fun ). Gear wise I'm running 2x Grothdarr, 5x Twice Born Star, and 5x Silks of the Sun. With this setup my spell damage seems a bit low ( Running Thief and Shadow mundus ) floating just under 2k and just over 2k with Igneous Weapons.... I am curious as to what people think would be a better choice for MagDK or if this setup is the "BiS".
Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated

    currently i run dw swords on my main bar for the extra spell damage and destro on my backbar... i know it used to be the main way to go when i started playing. Is dw no longer the better choice?

    DW can be a good choice if youre interested in a different set that requires 5 pieces, you can do the DoTs on the backbar and then damage with the rest on the mainbar

    Haven't tested it THIS patch, but it used to be more competentative with double destro. Medium staff weaves just overdpsed extra damage bonus from passively holding dual on a main bar

    ffs... Why, just why did you asked that, now i have to farm the sh*t out of CoA till i got my sharpened/precise swords/daggers.

    And the same time do alot of vMA runs to get that inferno staff, while we have double loot.

    You just made my life alot harder lol

    I had been thinking about the burning spellweave set, but wasn't sure if that would be the better choice over TbS lol

    Personally I run, 5 spell weave, 3 aether and 2 illambris and vma lit staff. I run vma in the same time as my Sorc with it so it must be good. It procs plenty without an inferno and you just drop dots and hold trigger with 10k heavy attacks attacked to it. Plus the aoe damage is immense. I don't really rate grothdarr on a DK. You're first attack will be a staff and it'll proc before you get there wasting it.
