Getting ready to do another DG Wizard life. I've looked at the trees a lot since then and have come up with what makes sense to me for a Wizard build. Evocation Archmage for DPS, PM for healing followed up with gear and feats to be effective at DC casting. Still new to casters and my last Wizard life was an interesting learning experience.
I'm going to grab all the usual Meta feats and then SF x 2 for Necro and Enchant. With PL Wizard and DG stance my DC's should be about the same as they were my 1st DG Wizard life. Force, at least if the spells hit and with some force +items should allow me to dps while using less mana than full spells. For high evasion mobs either hold monster and nuke or insta-kill. Sticking some points into PM for self-healing, at least through heroics until I can use heal scrolls/cocoon in Epics.
I can always use feat swap after Epics and re-do enhancements to a more standard DG Illusionist build if I run into issues.

Thanks for any and all feedback :) Even the insulting kind, providing it's at least productively insulting or entertaining!
