Some of the new gear options got me wondering about the feasibility of a rogue-splashed wiz in shiradi as a dc caster. The raid quarterstaff loaded with impulse in particular caught my attention. This is a work in progress, but the numbers looks promising.

Another 18 or so lives and I may be able to try this out. 

It seems to offer some versatility even though Shiradi has been nerfed down to 2nd or 3rd tier dps. Should still do some decent boss damage via arcane impulse.
