It's for PvP as well as PvE and you WILL take 15% dmg from a single hit enough to make it matter. Plus Bosses and Uniques that can take more than half your life with a single hit. Dunno if you played D2 but it happened all the time to sorcs; even those with Eshield on!
I like it. My one change would be take Meteor (Comet with the rune, for the ice / aoe slowing) over Frost Nova.
You're right! I didn't notice how weak (dmg) Frost Nova was... Even though it's a great CC skill and with Crimson all your attacks do an extra 31% dmg.
I think instead of Meteor I will go with Archon instead. Because it does as much if not more dmg as meteor and will hit more often than the Crimson Meteor would. Plus it looks sweet
I will be playing with 3 people mostly all the time. Plus Blizzard is a DPS spell and even though it says it does 65% weapon dmg for 3 secs that's 195% if the slowed enemies are caught in it for the full 3 seconds, which will happen most of the time. Plus you will be able to layer the Blizzards on top of each other like you could in D2. The reason Blizzard and Hydra LOOK weak % weapon dmg wise is because they are really strong spells that you can cast multiple times.
RoF is 270% weapon damage per second as well. Meteor is poop! lol It's too slow for my play style! I had a fire sorc in D2 and had meteor maxed but never used it because it never hit in PvP. For PvM it's great but this Wizard will be PvP as well as PvE so I need it to preform in PvP before I care about PvE. As I said I'll be playing with my friends and probably will not be soloing much
They are likely to make changes before release so I'll probably have to tweek it a bit but I think this build can deal with anything thrown at it! DH/Barb/Monk/WD another Wiz or a lot of rangers on a team might pose as a threat but we'll see

I had to change out Diamond Skin for Frost Nova because DS is only 3 seconds now... So unless you go DS (alabaster) I find it lack luster.
I changed EA (Obsidian) which used to be 26% dmg ((NIIIICE) Now 38% not nice) to EA (Alabaster)
I also changed RoF (crimson) to RoF (Golden) for my AP regen ability.
I made this builds focus defense and crits! I will be going heavy Defense gear as well as Life Regen/sec
Hope you like it!

Illusionist passive as a bad synergy with energy armor and blur
