Magicka Warden build ideas anyone? (Otherwise known as beating a dead horse?)

I'm using transmutation necropotence. Looking for a lightning staff to capitalize on deep fissure damage. Haven't decided on a monster helm. I'm thinking whatever gives max magicka and enough Regen to heal and shield like amberplasm or whatever is good both pve and PvP. Since we don't have many damage abilities. Also want to keep up our major defile aoe in PvP like an arena.

We're just healers, or even combat healers.

I really do not do much healing with mine. I see the potential, though.

I made an Ice Storm Warden I have fun with. It's nothing special DPS wise but I've always wanted a frost magic character. When I want to put out big damage I use my sorc but when I wanna relax and just have fun I use this guy. 5 Winterborn, 2 Iceheart, 3 willpower.

Front Bar: Lightning
Inner light
Force pulse
Leeching vines
Fletcher Infection
Dampen Magicka
Ulti: Northern Storm

Back Bar: Frost Maelstrom
Blue Betty
Deep Fissure
Lotus Blossom
Elemental Blockade
Winter's Revenge
Ulti: Destro

One of those times the frost staff works for a non-tank toon. I weave light attacks during my rotation and use it for blockade and the ultimate. I never have the need to heavy attack on my back bar so the taunt isn't an issue allowing me to spec fully into the destro staff passives. There's just enough frost skills including the Iceheart effect to proc Winterborn all the time. it all works really well together just doesn't put out the DPS I'd like it too. I'm hoping some future Warden buffs will make this more viable.

Switched to light of cyrodiil and necro for damage and the protection from the light set seems to work very well with deep fissure unless I'm delusional and it's not working.
