Thanks for all the input, and you actually bring up some points I came to as well.
I just posted the following on my guild formums
Mew cleared up some of the MM questions I have, but what are suggestions for a still Caster DPS focused (not necessary DC) but on the survivable side. I will think about 18/2 wiz as well, but my fotm is leaning towards DPS with some tankyness.
*EDIT* Thoughts on best Epic past life if I only plan on doing 1 for now?
Fvs isn't needed for wings, you can get wings from Exalted Angel which is coninsidently the best ed for a dc/light nuking divine.
I too have a nostalgic connection to fvs and the conception that fvs > cleric but that is a thing of the past.
Today cleric > fvs (especially if you're running ee/eh mod which you most likely will in order to get atleast two items, probably 3 and maybe 4).
Regarding dc casting, divines are fully capable performing in EE's if they are built for it.
Personally I give up a few wisdom points in favor of extra nukage (ruin, taking good stuff from EA tree).
