Help me flesh out my 2h stam sorc

I'm having a blast with my storm calling/2h centric stam sorc, but it feels like I'm missing something.
Here's where my issue is: as one would expect, I'm missing out on all of the fun magicka abilities of the sorc. At my level (17) I'm pretty much only able to use storm atronach and lightning form. All of the other abilities are useless to me even though they look fun. Is there any way to remedy this?
One solution I came up with is to be magicka based but be melee and use a 2h for wrecking blow with 2 heavy and 5 light. Use auto attacks for ult and use the 2h for cc while using the magicka abilities for my primary damage. If that doesn't make any sense to more experienced players (I'm relatively new), what else could I do with my stam sorc to make it feel a little more... magic-y?
Another topic: Now that I have my second skill bar, I don't quite know what to do with it. This whole game I've been using a 2h and it's been pretty good. I was thinking of using 2h for single target/defensive and using dw for aoe/higher damage. The problem is I don't like how spammy dw is feeling, so I'm curious as to whether it would be ok or not to use a 2h for both bars? Have on bar use the defensive skills and the other bar have the more damage oriented skills. Just curious as to how this all works! Thanks!

✭I'm assuming here that you're inquiring for PvE and not PvP. I run the same build/gear in PvP, but I use a few different skills. For PvE, I recommend going 2h main and Bow off-bar:
2H - Wrecking Blow, Bound Armaments, Crit Rush (or Brawler), Executioner, Crit Surge, Flawless Dawnbreaker.
Bow - Poison Injection, Bound Armaments, Focused Aim, Arrow Barrage, [Optional Slot], Great Storm Atro
For the optional slot, I often change depending on the encounter. Caltrops, Vigor, Rearming Trap, and Evil Hunter are all useful skills you can fit in there as you see fit. If you really like having Hunter on your bar for the weapon crit, you can replace crit rush with it too to have it on your main bar.
For late game, it's important to make sure your arrow barrage and poison injection are always active.Edited by Autolycus on March 14, 2016 7:31PM0
