So i was watching the inferno Belial kill and I was like... thats the build im using right now. He switches it up for single target when Belly goes phase 2. im sure the runes might be a little different but the animations were similar to the ones i see for my runes...
i bounce around with these skills
-diamond skin
-frost nova
-meteor
-arcane armor
-ice armor
-electrocute (ball)
-disintegrate
-ray of frost
-archon
(skills names are off i know - not in front of me )
In any case i feel like people will round to play style skill "areas" or "sets" where a grouping of 10 or so skills are all valid. but there are different skill groupings that work well together.
Frost nova with reduction in cd
Diamond skin with double effectiveness
Imbue weapon 15% damage 2% knockback
Energy armor with 5% crit
Shock pulse with piercing
Blizzard with 20% chance to freeze.
Will be going over a new setup once i hit 60, but im very comfortable with the setup i have now, it provides me with escapes, slows, damage, semi decent aoe and an oh shit button.
Only level 26, but I'm not a fan of meteor at all. With the huge AP cost and the delayed strike meteor seems very lackluster for the damage it puts out; I get more bang for the buck just channeling disintegrate into a pack of mobs.
Right now I'm loving Electrocute, Disintegrate, and Arcane Hydra.
Well since I'm playing on HC, Diamond Skin is required. I'm using http://eu.battle.net...RSOX!cYX!aabZaa. For bosses I swap out Hydra with Mirror Images.
So as far as your list goes, I only use Arcane Armor and Diamond Skin. Barely touched on the other skills.

Yeah diamond skin is pretty hard to not use... it saves your ass in so many cases, especialy when you are controlled or need to dps while being under a shower of damage (Mortar )
As for the OP, I don't get what the point is. I don't use much of these spell and I'm in hell A3. The only things that gives me trouble are stupid rares like Invulnerable - Mortar - Fast... it's impossible for me whatever my build is I just skip them
I know almost everyone hates the idea of a melee wizard, but with 12k HP at level 43, it's actually pretty effective in nightmare, at least for now. (Act 3)
Ive found that ray of frost and disintigrate are just really bad for me.
Im sitting at 5472 dmg and 17k HP atm at level 52 in Hell act1.
AO- With the ruin that lowers cost
SP-with the ruin making it an orb
diamond skin (obviously)
Teleport with the mirror images
Venom Hydras
Imbue weapon
I find that this gives me all the AOE and single target that i need. And i have GREAT survivability.
