Magicka DK's are the single worst/hardest class to do PvP with.
In PvE, magicka DKs make interesting DPS with damage over time skills, which makes the skoria monster set combination very interesting. Typically, the rule of thumb (from my experience) is go with 5 julianos for burst damage and 5 kagrenacs for sustain. For the alt set(s), you'll want to optimize spell damage, with this as the sort of standard:
1. kena gives spell dmg with 1 piece.
2. torugs pact gives spell dmg with 2 pieces.
3. vicious death and arch mage give spell dmg with 3 pieces.
4. magnus gift gives spell dmg with 4 pieces.
You'll likely only be able to do the 5 piece + 4 piece combination if you run DW as the front bar, which for magicka DK limits you to lava whip as your primary DPS. With destro, the primary DPS is crushing shock + wall of elements (good dot) + weaving.
I wore 5 kags (sometimes julianos) + 2 torugs + 1 kena (3 arch mage/ vicious death would be slightly better) w/willpower jewelry.
@Destruent I always preferred using crushing shock + medium attack weave as my main DPS on Destro Bar. I'm curious to see what other Magicka DKs say.
