I have a few different spells as well, but nothing earth-shattering.
Level 1: Obscuring Mist instead of Command. The only fvs fog spell might be useful as it even works on purple named although can be dispelled easily, why even keep Command once you have Greater Command anyway and they end up costing the same with Heighten.
Level 3: Magic Circle vs Evil instead of Protection from Energy. It grants immunity to enemy Command spells, charms and dominations much like Holy Aura. Hold Monster type spells are handled by Freedom of Movement anyway, and it lasts more.
Level 5: Protection from Elements instead of Mass Cure Light Wounds. If you need to protect from 2 or more elements, it's even cheaper than Protection from Energy.
Level 8: Mass Cure Critical Wounds instead of Holy Aura. I needed a second Mass Cure X spell and the Critical one is more efficient than Mass Cure Light Wounds.
Level 9: Energy Drain instead of True Resurrection. Simple Resurrection + Scrolls of Resurrection should be enough. Energy Drain => Destruction is important to fast kill enemy casters at range.

Why UMD? For Fireshield scrolls?
Obscuring Mist is useless. DUration is short and I believe it still obscures Player views as well (On screen, not for the sake of Concealment)
I do carry Magic circle instead of Protection actually.
I;m pretty sure my evoker has Cure light mass and Protection from elements now.. Have to double check my l5 spells.
I will NEVER get rid of holy aura. Its just too good. AOE Blindness + Stacking saving throw bonus? Nothing justifies getting rid of that.
as far as True res.. Again, wont get rid of it. Sorry, but inepics, a Raise dead is near useless and scrolls simply are not reliable enough. If you stay away from Epics and even elites, probably a decent swap, but if you expect to be a top notch healer in Epics. You need true res.

Fireshield is one of many scrolls and wands I carry.. Displacement,... Knock, Blur, Teleport are among the others I carry.
