I would do at least a 3rd level of wizard to pick up scorching ray.  You can have a solid DPS rotation with mm sla, mm and SR.

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).

You get much better single target dps spamming light spells and SLA's IMO. The numbers are pretty crazy especially if you use rebuke foe and twist empyrian magic.

DC is DPS: pack a group of enemies then soundburst + divine wrath and energy burst
