18/2 fire savant is a great starter build for new players.  You have a really efficient endless stream of damage with this build.  You can take your time going slowly through quests to learn them and don't have to worry about resource management too much. 

I'd suggest grinding through the favor to unlock FvS and getting the tokens in the process to TR.  The first three past lives get you +4 build points, which is a decent boost in power.  It shouldn't be too difficult to solo quests on EN and EH with a hireling.

You shouldn't have any problem getting groups for Jungle of Khyber or Chamber of Raiyum to farm tokens as those are excellent xp even on epic normal.

If you want to grind the tokens out ASAP, then you'll want to farm Time is Money and Devil Assault if you don't have the Cannith Challenge pack.

Post your own LFM with no description. People will likely join and zerg the quest for you without complaining.

I like my Sorc18/Pali2 Air+Fire-Savant. Took the Tier 5 enhancements in Air because of wind-dance (like the soul wings, great for a nuker) and Fire as a second element because it works great with Empyrean Magic. And I prefer the tier3 core enhancements of Fire (Immolation) and Air (Conduction) over the Water (Hypothermia) and Earth (Crumbling/Armor Destruction) cores.

Until the devs "fix" divine grace your saves are just awesome with two levels of Paladin. When they bring the nerf and the CHA bonus to saves is tight to Paladin levels I will switch to favorite soul.

Special hint: If you invest heavily in the Evocation school anyway Prismatic Spray can be a very handy spell for big crouds as you can hit masses of mobs per cast.

Both splashes are good for new players, it would depend on which difficulty you run stuff.

FvS: DPS splash and the best choice for new players since it'll be extremely easy to solo/farm EH content without spending any resources.

Pally splash: Defensive splash which is good for new players if you're planning to go for EE content (you certainly don't need the saves for EH or EN).

Opener when you get fsoul, have you considerd a sorc fsoul palie?
Its really a easy to play build and works well in shiradi and somewhat in draconic.
Like 14 sorc 3 fsoul 3 palie.
Very defense oriented and a good eh/en build imo.
Other wise go 17 sorc 3 palie for stance and go addie body, yes i know you lose lv 9 spells, but beside mass hold there really is no real must have from lv 9 spells and you wont need mass hold for eh/en but the defense lets you ignore champs more or less
