I would add 2 monk levels: gaining 2 feats (zen archery and precision or dodge), evasion adn ocean stance. Elf capstone is underwhelming anyway and for implosion you just have to be level 18. This kind of build (caster + meele/ranged) unfortunately suffer all from the same problem, to perform at 100% you need to specialize in one of the two side. If you only want to stick to EN, EH; then I am sure this build will give you some nice fun times! Enjoy

Yeah, this is mostly just a reference post at this time, though feel free to reply further if you'd like.

The idea was to have merely paralyze and terror arrows alongside casting, so it specializes primarily in casting (and it does not use the Elf capstone, while it does use all of tier 5 AOV).

In the 2 monk scenario, I would only gain one feat that applies to casting, and I suppose that could be Spell Penetration; but I would get -2 to spell penetration anyway by dropping two levels of fvs as well as lose some spell slots, so it's a bit of a wash. I use wisdom for hit on arrows via Zen Archery, and nothing for dmg; precision would be nice, but it's not necessary. Evasion is nice, but it wouldn't be strong on this build. Also, I'd have to wear light armor. Ocean stance could help though. Hmmm, but I would have to wear merely cloth. Probably don't have enough dex alongside wis for that.
