Second, you need more than one set to get the most out of your build. For example, 2x ilambris 4x infallible aether 5x necropotence.
Third, quality (and trait*) of your weapons is very important so make these gold if you have found the sets you like. Its not expensive to make everything purple so it shouldnt be lower than that. Note, with the next update things are changing a bit so it might be smart to wait before using gold upgrade mats.
Forth, optimize your CP distribution. You'll want 75 points into Thaumaturge to get 10% extra dmg against off-balance targets for example. There are plenty YT videos that show the important CP stars to invest in as magicka sorc.
And finally, improve your rotation. This is by far the biggest dps boost. Light attack in between attacks and animation cancel skills with long animations like Wall of Elements.
*Weapon traits will change with HotR update so its hard to say which will be best. Precise or sharpened will be the safe bet I guess.

Thanks man. So far I noticed a big change. Recommend dropping the self shield in favor of more dots?
