Not sure if you're still working with the Vyr's build, but I've got a couple of tips.
I'd recommend switching either teleport or frost nova for Blizzard with Snowbound rune. While casting Arcane Torrent, spam Blizzard. It will constantly cancel Torrent's animation and greatly reduce your downtime between Archons.
Since you've got a furnace cubed, you can switch your +% elemental damage to arcane and use a Moonlight Ward.
Wouldn't it be better to reroll the AS for 10% damage and get it to 3k dps?
Actually swapped it to LoH, and it seems to be better. You want the AS for your mammoth's though. But I'm going to wait until I find a few more ancient pieces to get my toughness up a bit more.
I think one of the biggest things with Wizard archon damage is you need to stay alive. I only played my Wizard about 6 hours this season (4th class i'm playing), but i noticed that after dieing the chance of dieing again in a big pack seems really high. I cleared up to 57 so far, and I had 6 or 7 deaths (mostly on the RG), and as a result it took like 6 minutes just to kill the RG even with striken gem. In the parts of the rift when I wasn't dieing the clear speed was going significantly faster than the timer.
I finally geared out my wizard yesterday. Ancient chanatado but not a great one. It is so different. Constantly finding new monsters to hit me to trigger frost nova to keep up ancient parth stacks is intriguing. Only did a 50 last night but I think I finally understand how to play it. I need LoH though.

The ramp up time takes forever for me to get going, and so I can't attempt any solo's above 55 atm.
But I feel like even in archon, the highest crits I've seen have been 3-4b with 1.5-2.5 being the average.
My bracers are ancient APD's w/ lightning %.
You are missing gear.
Ancient chantodo's set. This is why you aren't doing any dmg.
Zodiac ring in the cube to reset CDR of archon
get rid of CoE for unity when doing solo
Follower also need unity.
I would put some Area dmg where you can. archon is arguably in melee mode 100% of the time. area dmg will help with the ramp up.
THEY HATE US, CUZ THEY AIN'T US
I have zodiac ring, just leveled a new character so I didn't juggle two sets & skills on one wiz.
Obviously, I do need ancient chantodo's. About 6k reusable parts deep atm >.>

Found that bad boy this morning. I've also swapped to fire vyrs, and it seems to be a lot better.
