I have recently decided to try out DW MagSorc. What attracted me is the aggressive burst combo gameplay style. I have always played defensively with my MagSorc and now decided to try something different
After several days of playing it, it just doesn't feel right. My burts is weak, even when I time it. Pressure is 0 and it feels kind of weak.

If there is someone there who understands DW MagSorcs, I would really appreciate any suggestions or advices on what I should change in either gear or skills and just give general tips for PVP.

I will put the full info here, so you guys can see if something's wrong or if you have any new ideas on what I should change.

Gear - all is in purple.
Head - Slimecraw. Impen. Max stamina enchant
Shoulders - Slimecraw. Impen. Max health enchant
Chest - War Maiden. Infused. Max Magicka enchant
Waist - War Maiden. Divines. Max Magicka enchant
Hands - War Maiden. Divines. Max Magicka enchant
Legs - War Maiden. Infused. Max Magicka enchant
Feet - War Maiden. Divines. Max Magicka enchant

Jewellery - 3x Spinner's. Arcane. Mag recovery enchant
Weapons - 2x Swords. Charged & Decisive. Absorb Magicka Enchant

Skills

Front bar/DW - Structured Entropy. Radiant Magelight. Endless Fury. Haunting Curse. Crystal Fragments. Soul Assault.
Back bar/Resto - Boundless Storm. Streak. Healing Ward. Hardened Ward. Harness Magicka

Stats (unbuffed)
Max Magicka - 40 429
Max Health - 17 844
Max Stamina - 11 142
Spell Damage - 1675
Spell Crit - 49.3%
Spell Resist - 11 163
Physical Resist - 9 348
Magicka Recovery - 1467
Health Recovery - 383
Stamina Recovery - 637

Other
Max Magicka Mundus Stone
64 points to magicka
5 light / 1 medium / 1 heavy (Undaunted passive maxed out, 6%)

Here it is. If there is anything else I can provide info wise please let me know. Big time thanks to those who are willing to help me out.

EDIT: Some more info that I missed
Body parts are War Maiden
Jewellery and Weapons are Spinner's set
I am planning to PVP in non-CP campaign also a lot of BGs

    I don't know much about DW as I prefer the Destro/resto for my PVP but one thing I would recommend with your setup is daedric mines. The instant cast ones work perfect with a build like this. Streak through and drop the mines where they're standing.

    Maybe get that max magicka up some? Get an infused head with max magicka enchant on it. My 5 Spinners / 4 lich /grothdar /llambris set up gets 45k max and 2500 SD. around 43k max if i run the full 5 lich.

    What kind of swords are you running? the OP didnt mention what set they were.

    I had a pretty decent setup with Julianos, willpower, grothdar, llambris and torugs swords. You could replace the Julianos with War maiden and probably get better results than I did, But the build could survive pretty well and hit hard. Just didnt have the pressure I tend to have on my destro build.

    Edit: I just caught you put radiant on the front bar, that should be inner light for more max magicka.

    http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Special:EsoBuildData You should make an account on the UESP and use the build editor to get your stuff together. I love it, and have made quite a few builds (not all viable, mostly RP). It's all up to date too.

    It would make it easier to look at for everyone, including yourself, and you wouldn't have to type all the stats out everytime you ask for help.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgGImCRoqfk This may be a good setup to consider. It's more of a Dueling build but you could shuffle a few things around. Such as swapping the infernal guardian for slimecraw, but the CP and skills are inline with what you want to be doing.

    Why are you using war maiden?

    Well. As a DW MagSorc, your main burst comes from the tick of curse + frag at the same time. Endless fury also counts, as well as the dawnbreaker. Now given the absence of spammable skill (such as crushing shock) you are literally down to these few skills. Of course, there are other skills, but they either give buffs or shields.
    So given that you are left with these four skills (frag, curse, fury, dawnbreaker), I don’t see any other set that would allow you to enhance your burst potential
