I'm running an arcane torrent wizard build I'd like to share with you. Firstly let's look at the skills.
Shock Pulse (Power Affinity)
Slow Time (Time Warp)
Energy Armor (Pinpoint Barrier)
Arcane Torrent (Disruption)
Wave of Force (Arcane Atonement)
Archon (Improved Archon)
Builder: Your builder skill is shock pulse. Use this to recover mana quickly and allow for more time channeling arcane torrent.
Spender: Arcane Torrent (duh). Dish out a ton of damage using this spell, and keep the downtime to a minimum with shock pulse.
Utility: Wave of Force for AoE, also increases your damage.
Energy Armor: Mostly for the 5% crit.
Slow Time: This build is a little glassy, I wouldn't use it on HC, but slow time helps a lot and also adds increased damage to close up monsters.
Archon: Use this to blow apart powerful monsters such as rift guardians.
Unwavering will and audacity are pretty clear choices here. You're using a channeled spell so you're going to be standing still more often than not, and they'll increase your damage.
The last two are also damage increases but with elemental exposure you want to make sure you get a different type of damage on your gear for increased effect. Glass cannon sacrifices some of your toughness for more damage.
Here's a link to me: I'm currently running through T1 mostly because I'm not that great reflex wise. I hope you try this out and if you have any questions or comments post here and I'll try to answer them!
I really like the nova aoe effect. it helps with clearing small mobs quickly. I was trying for other damage types but idk if items exist with them off weapon. I will try those other skills and let you know!

Able to farm T4 solo with minimal effort, aside from the occasional terrorist-status elite pack.
