What I want to know is with my current combination of Vyr and Tal Rasha both having their 4 set bonuses, should I change my playstyle to try and get all four of my main elements out onto my targets in order to proc the Tal Rasha bonuses or should I ignore some elements and go for a middle ground with my spells? As currently I am only able to get out Fire and Lightning damage while in Archon at the moment as my Vyr Archon defaults to fire damage.
Also as an added note I only just got my Vyr 4 set very recently so I have not gone ahead with attempting to optimize just yet as I wanted to get some advice from some other folks before doing so.
Of course it does go without saying that my Wizard is not the most optimized one out there but I am just trying to make things work with what I have been able to find.
I apologize if I have missed any useful information by the way, if I have please ask and I will try to respond accordingly. Many thanks in advance.
Don't try to pigeonhole yourself into getting all four Meteors out from Tal's. If you can only get three or even two, it's fine. Don't gimp your setup or your stats just for the sake of proc'ing the Meteors.
Because Tal Meteors are supplementary damage at best, you don't want to focus on building around the Meteors. Considering Archon will offer the brunt of your damage, you're going to build around that, which means focusing on the element of your choice (most people go fire or arcane, not multielement) and stacking CDR. That's it.
Drop the Asheara's. If you have Strongarm Bracers, run those and switch the Aughild bracers to shoulders to maintain the bonus. Then throw in Black Hole for debuffs. You then should run at least a proper spender outside Archon. Meteor Shower could work except you cannot spam it in your setup. Arcane Archon can utilize Arcane Torrent as the spender. Fire usually runs Mirrorball-Conflagration while outside Archon.
I mentioned CDR. You have virtually none. Try to shoot for around 50% so you spend 20 seconds in Archon, 30 seconds outside. It also cuts Black Hole's CD down to 6 seconds for better availability.
Anyway, you have alot of work to do. Then again, you're still in the gearing phase, so no pressure.
One trick that I use to proc meteors is to have mixed elements on weapons versus attack. For example, my arcane build has a weapon with fire damage, so my AT drops one meteor and the fire drops the shower. Then, I equip my follower with a weapon that deals a different element so he/she launches that element.
Jaetch also has some good suggestions that you could follow as well.

Obviously there are the main builds featured on this site but I am just trying to make what I currently have work out for me, so here is my Wizard http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/GDSilver-2236/hero/1476962.
