Another stam sorc using Crystal Weapons? Smh.

Love that you're an argonian. Great! I also love argonians, the naming conventions of argonians are fantastic. Hence my username in the forums.
You could probably change jewelrey to Bloodthirsty, your hp is already pretty high. I'd also consider swapping Wrathful Strikes for Thaumaturgy. Leviathan is fine, but Tzogvin's is probably better. There's also the new crafted set coming out next patch called "Order's Wrath" which is also WAY better, and it only requires 2 traits to craft making it easy to make. If you do that, you could keep your rotation and bar the same rather than do the following advice; You could put Atro on your backbar and Flawless Dawnbreaker on your front bar, and drop the trap for something else if you do Tzogvin's, though that does make being a vampire kinda moot. If it's a visual thing, then great, if it's cause you like that ult specifically, then this idea becomes kinda meh.
I'd also recommend experimenting with Pillar's of Nirn, which might out DPS Aegis Caller. The DPS is a bit higher on Pillar's, based on the CD and 2.5 second delay on Aegis. It's not a super significant difference though, so either work but Pillar will give you a bit more dps most likely.

@MovesLikeJaguar thanks for the advice brother!

yea i love argonians, and my stam sorc in particular is so precious to me as an argonian

yea i was considering tzogvin as well, i've yet to properly try it out so thanks for confirming that it is indeed good

pillars of nirn is on my watch list as well

Personally, I'd remove crit surge from the back bar as well and replace both with Camo Hunter. +3% damage and extra ulti regen is maintained, added to your backbar, and you no longer need to keep crit surge up. Of course this would also mean your solo survivability drops off a cliff, so carrying around the Ring of the Pale Order in your inventory can help for when you're not grouping and you need the extra heals, like if you want to solo a normal dungeon or world boss.

Alternatively, you could move crit surge to your front bar and sub Lightning Flood in on your backbar. Liquid Lightning is decent, but since you're not running crystal frags (which you could next patch, though the damage is lower than crystal weapons), I believe Lightning Flood is better utility and damage. I prefer using lightning flood myself on a similar build I play, since it helps with sustain a small bit. Though on my build, I run the expensive weapon power pots that give stam, weapon damage, and weapon crit (which i make myself so they're not expensive), so I have the bar space to do that. Or Mystic Orb, similar damage + a group resource heal.

What content are you seeking to do with the build? I'd personally swap aegis caller to a trial set to get the minor slayer (+5% damage to all dungeon, trial and arena enemies). To what, it varies by fights. Yandir, sulxan, relequen (5pcs) or 3pc roaring opportunist + frontbarred arena weapon are all options in my opinion here.

There's an update behind the corner, so I'd start to invest into the next patch when it comes to gear. In it, we'll get two good trial sets to play with: whorl of the depths, which is easy to use and will deal splash damage, but is slightly lower damage than relequen (very small difference tho) and Coral Riptide, which will be harder and riskier to use effectively.

In my experience, in dungeons, leviathan is not far behind Pillar of Nirn in DPS. Also stormfist is a solid choice as a monster set. If you aren't already running stormfist in light armor pieces, I'd swap them both to light armor to get more penetration.

(If aiming for group content... )
Skill-wise I'd like to use both twilight tormentor and volatile familiar, which would lower the amount of dots to keep up while providing more passive damage. And when you are using 2 pets and the storm atronach, daedric prey will be your best friend. This would require you to swap your skills around a bit, because daedric prey is a short duration dot, which means it is comfiest to use in the frontbar. This'd mean your frontbar would be daedric prey, crystal weapon, bound armaments, volatile familiar and twilight tormentor. Backbar would be stampede, carve, barbed trap, volatile familiar and twilight tormentor. If you need survivability, swap a pet to survivability skill on backbar (crit surge, dark deal or vigor) and use the camoflaged hunter on its slot at frontbar.

I am a Stamsorc orc main. The orc part is non-negotiable because I like orcs. But I think I am too newb to offer much advice.

I would only say to drop the second bound armaments on 2h and slot reverse slice. Nice fast aoe execute that also scales the aoe with primary target damage. Target the lowest health mob for best effect. Works well with crit build too.
