Mag sorc gear options? I have a ton

I’m interested in hearing what you think the best gear set up is for magic sorc.
I have all monster helms. I have multiple sets from hoarding. I have Lich, warlock, Julianos, burning spell weave, scathing mage, spell power cure, and quite a few others. I can craft everything.
I think I’ll go dual wield and lightning or fire and lightning. I have vma staves (inferno sharp, lighting nirn) but do I want flame sharp still or nirn now?
I also have a lot of set drops with weapons. Willpower swords and staves, burning spell and also Lich destro staves, spell power cure staves. So with the upcoming patch I could also run 5/5 and make it easier using these weapons to fill out a set. So any opinions on post patch is welcome as well.
Just looking for advice. Doing dungeons. Icp. All pve.
I pulled out to start with
Julianos
Willpower
Tourg pack swords
Both vma flame and lightning staves
Ilambris and skoria and infernal guardian
(I also have every other helm)
Any thoughts on what I pulled out first to go with? I feel it’s ok but pretty boring (Julianos at least) Usually I have a very specific idea on gear but haven’t rolled a magic sorc so wanted input from others.
Thank you for any help.

✭Weird questions. You claim you have vMA weapons yet you ask for the basics. I'll restrain myself from answering.PC EU (PL): 14 characters. ESO player since 06.08.2015. Farkas finest quote: "Some people don't think I'm smart. Those people get my fist. But you, I like."0 -

Never ran a magic sorc. I have over 1000 champ points and have everything at my disposal, but I main a Templar and have run all content in the game with her, but that doesn’t mean I have ever been a magic sorc.
Maybe you assume I need a mag sorc to beat vma but I’ve done just fine with my Templar.
Assume what you want but you know happens when you do that

✭✭✭✭✭Magic sorc gear for PVE is easy. First, do you plan to run a pet? If so, then Necro as your first 5 piece. If not, than look to julianos or even netch. Second, lets talk next patch because it right around the corner. There is absolutely no good reason to run DW on a sorc in PVE. This is currently true, but with staffs counting as two pieces, it's even more true. So basically, you can go 5/5/2. The most obvious second 5 piece is mechanical acuity. It works great with a VMA back bar, because acuity only needs to be front barred. On PTS, I was seeing mid 40's parses going 5 Necro, 5 Acuity, 2 ilambris with a super simple heavy attack rotation. Lastly, pick a helm/shoulder. If you can be in melee, it's hard to be Zaan. If you are ranged, it's hard to beat ilambris. If solo, Slimecraw is a reasonable set to consider. If for some reason you need more health, Skoria is also not a bad option. All will be within 1-2k of eachother.
