It can be possible if theWizards can equip bows. In D3 the weapon requeriments are class specific, not stats driven.
Another detail is that, last time i saw a wand in D3, it was a ranged weapon (shooted mini bolts). Maybe the wizard can't be a arcane archer but he can have a identical gameplay by using wands to hit and those talents to burst weapon damage.
Well.. it sounds fun, but it seems to basically come down to the fact that instead of throwing arcane missiles at enemies, you're shooting arcane missing at enemies... uhm. And you're still using all the same skills to avoid getting hurt. Basically, my question is how would it play different from any other wizard?
The very fact that you don't spend mana changes a bit. The mana menagement will allways make part of the spellcasters and many people don't like to deal with it.
Also you can concentrate your build in field damage spells, dots or debuffs. For exemple, you can't use two different kinds of active damage spells at the same time (like Arcane Bolt and Arcane Orb). So if you want to max out your DPS you should invest in one active and in one field damage spell (like blizzard and hydra), this way you can stack the DPS of two different skills at once. However you can active a similar effect by investing in weapon damage and in one field damage but this way you spend mana in only one instead of 2 spells (because theorically weapon damage are mana free).

"In time the hissing of her sanity
Faded out her voice and soiled her name
And like marked pages in a diary
Everything seemed clean that is unstained
The incoherent talk of ordinary days
Why would we really need to live?
Decide what is clear and what's within a haze
What you should take and what to give" - Opeth
