Better for all-out power, to be sure.
I guess it all depends on what you prioritize: hyper specialization or general utility. DeLarge's build is definitely "better" in the sense that it will create a stronger melee at end-game high-skull reaper, no question.
So really all depends on what you're looking for in terms of play-style/what parts of the game you find the most fun.
Suffice it to say I've tried almost every iteration of this build,
including the 15pal/5wiz types, 12ftr/7wiz/1clr, 14clr/4wiz/1brb, etc, etc, etc.
While they all look super strong on paper either due to either perfect crit profile, 100% doublestrike or cool effects, they ultimately lose out to the heavy wiz split version.
Time lost on short-term buffs like displacement clickies, tenser scrolls, slow proc'ing single death aura that lasts only a minute (with extend), all lower your performance and actual play style enjoyment.
This is all in terms of R10 grouping btw.
For certain raids like KT (or abandon hope all ye who enter RtSO) it is better to switch into LD for sustained DPS and prevent the dumb dragon from turning like a turkey on a grill.
No amount of Hate-tanking or successful intimidates can prevent KorKaza from turning to party if one of these EKs drop DA BOMB!
