Arcane Archer/Rogue advice

[Arovin]

Joining back up today after about half a year since I last played. I am looking to make an AA/rouge without taking the ranger levels. I played around in the character planner and came up with a few questions.

1. What advice can you give for level balance I was thinking 13wiz/3rog for the extra sneak attack but from what I have read most builds only have 1 or 2 levels of rouge.

2. If I where to take 6 levels of rouge would I be able to take one of the Ways along with Arcane Archer? The character planner let me do it but not sure if you can actually have two specialties.

3. What should I be shooting for spell points by end game? (consider that I won't be using spells much for damage... see the next question)

4. Is it feasible to depend on my bow and sneak attacks for most of my damage and my spells for utility and crowd control?

From what I have read ranged combat is still not that popular and I have not seen a ton of posts on Arcane Archer in general but I am looking for fun and uniqueness in my build over being "uber". Though being completely useless is also something I want to avoid.

Any advice that would help me down this path would be greatly appreciated.

This is the build I came up with for 10wiz/6rog

Might swap Mechanic for Assassin but would loose out on the skill bonuses and the skill boost ability. Also missing out on higher level spells especially Greater Heroism, True Seeing, and Flesh to Stone which all would be valuable to this build.
