34-point Warforged Archmage Build

[Nitesco]

I plan to TR my first life Warforged Archmage as soon as I've finished gearing it out. I've had a look at some of the threads for these types of builds and this is what I've come up with. I am still relatively new to Wizarding and want to know if there are any major holes or flaws in this build.

Thoughts so far:

I have heard good things about Insightful Reflexes. Will taking this feat mitigate enough damage to make it worthwhile? What will this help me against the most?

Is Wizard Spell Penetration III worth the AP?

Have I taken enough enhancements to cover DPS? I have gone with Acid, Cold and Electricity to boost my dot's. Is having acid worth it for the Abbot and Lailat?

Is Spell Penetration IX mandatory on this build?

Have I placed too much emphasis on defence?

Note: After some consideration I have decided to fit a permanent Deathblock item and the ability to maintain 100% fortification while under Yugoloth effects into my gear setup.

Abilities

Strength - 20 (+5)
Dexterity - 11 (0)
Constitution - 32 (+11)
Intelligence - 42 (+16)
Wisdom - 15 (+2)
Charisma - 9 (-1)

I will swap in an Epic Flameward and use a Bunny Hat for UMD (assuming these are still available in the store).


Gear

Head - Epic Sacred Helm
Eyes - Greensteel +45 HP Concordant Opposition Goggles
Neck - Epic Torc of Prince Raiyum-de II (+6 Strength )
Trinket - Litany of the Dead
Back - Epic Envenomed Cloak (Toughness)
Belt - Epic Lion-Headed Belt Buckle (Greater False Life, +1 exceptional Strength)
Wrists - Bracers of the Demon's Consort
Hands - Greensteel +6 exceptional Charisma skills SP Gloves
Ring - Rahkir's Ring (+2 exceptional Intelligence)
Ring - Omniscience
Boots - Epic Rock Boots (Greater False Life, +1 exceptional Strength)
Body - Epic Diabolist's Docent (+1 exceptional Constitution, Heavy Fortification)
Main Hand - Epic Ornamented Dagger/?
Off Hand - level 16 Ornamented Dagger/?

I am not really sure which item effects stack with feats and enhancements so I haven't planned out exactly what I will want to be using as far as Greater School Focus items are concerned. I will be using the Epic Ornamented Dagger and the level 16 Ornamented Dagger for dot's. If I can't fit Greater School Focus on weapons, I can slot it on bracers and use those instead. I will have to figure out which of the staves is best, it would be ideal if one could cover the +2 Foci in Enchantment and Necromancy.

(I have assumed that when an SR check is made, I can include +1 for the simulated dice roll.)

I will add these in later when I have time to calculate them.
