Hey mate, I will try and help, never tried to give advice to anyone, I go by my personal feeling in game so my advice might be off (but I guess it will do until someone more experienced with "gear judgement" comes along), will go slot by slot. Seeing your profile I am guessing that the main problem is low health pool on your end (only 2367 vitality)
Amulet: you need a higher CHD on that and vitality instead of a socket wouldn't hurt (if you can run without vit, then definately + arcane %)
Shoulders: Try crafting new ones and get ones with mainstat, vit, armor and AR, life per second is a pretty useless stat
Gloves: Those you have would be fine but again, problem is that Life per Second is taking up a slot where vitality could be, or CDR in certain builds (but I see you do not need that so go for vitality in that slot)
Source: again, life per second on that one too, Now I see the problem is that you are running 4pc tal rasha so getting rid of that source is out of the question, but for the time being try rerolling APoC into vit or life %. Im personally running arcane archon build with vyrs set and I all AP regen I use is from Tals bonus (Resource cost reduction in utility paragon), I find that to be enough in groups on T5 and solo T4. If you have souls it won't hurt to attempt running without that APoC
Bracers: Life per Hit on those, taking up a valuable second stat slot (preferably armor
If you can get + arcane on amu instead of that socket I would recommend getting rid of Andariels Visage, that helm is too "glassy" for my taste
You have alot of arcane elemental % so I guess your dps should be fine.
Where did you spend your paragon points? Mine are distributed as follows, core: int; offensive: CDR, CHD; defensive; life% armor; utility: RCR, area damage
From I can see (and I might be wrong) you have four pieces in total that have LpS (3) and LpH (1)
Belt: You have spectral blade on that one and from your profile you aren't running Spectral Blade, reroll it into something that you will actually have more use of (best option would be Harringtons or String of ears once you find another tals piece to run set bonus - helm would be ideal instead of that Andariel)
You might try switching teleport for Black Hole, I personally always found it more useful for CC, especially with arcane torrent and "casting delay"
I don't want to confuse you, but i disagree with snowchief, there is a great video by Jaetch about wizard itemization that can help you a lot, you should search for it in the forums or in youtube.
You don't need more life, 300k is enough if you have better health recovery and some kind of shields to give you time to recover life.
Get enough AR (1.400+ IMO), then some armor , 300k life , and some LPH or LPS and then play a little trying to reach a balance in skills and pasives between damage, CC and shields. You are taking mainly dmg skills and pasives, replace some odf it for better mob control and some shields.
I would take black hole instead of armor or familiar and dominance instead of illusionist or audacity
As you get more dmg you can start losing some defenses or increasing the difficulty. Maybe try other builds too (spectral blades / black hole works well, cold builds, etc.)

I'm looking for advice on what I can do to solo run T4 and higher. I'm still working on Unity rings, but I'm wondering what else I can do to improve my wizard. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Thornagol-1626/hero/23297733
Thanks in advance!
