TRing Wizard to second caster life

[Melfsmite]

I'm looking for a good DPS build for my Wizard given the current rules.

Some preferences (though nothing is off the table):
Human/Elf race -- My wizard is primarily part of a well-balanced Static group including a healer. I have a bit of time while a few others make the grind from 18 to 20, I can TR this guy and catch them by 20. I'd prefer as high DC's as I can get by end-game.

Wizard preferred but Sorc is under strong consideration for DPS reasons -- I'm not sure if by end game the bosses (which is where my group needs most the help) the lack of DC on the Sorc will mean less DPS than the Wiz build.

I have collected the standard sets for leveling and a Con-Op green steel item, and will have Blue Dragon robe to help -- but not much else in the way of epic gear yet. I do have several fire and kinetic enhancing clickies.

I have +3 tomes across the board -- no +4's.

I've played life #1 as an ArchMage so I know that line. But PaleMaster looks very inviting -- if the DPS works for end game. I guess I can always re-spec at 20.

Any advice is much appreciated!
