The intent is to pick up crits as fast as possible to proc critical mass to reduce the archon cooldown with an empowered archon, it may serve to switch to the slow time archon and hopefully grab the bonus from stretch time in archon form.
In between archon uptime the Mirror Images and slow time will hopefully be up to try and proc more crits.
Opting for spectral blade for the bleed effect hopefully gaining more crits from followers enhanced attack speed from stretch time, enchant weapon.
Archon appears to run on disintegrate, there should be ample crits available from that skill provided enough victims, if this is the case slow time could be altered to damage 30% instead of speed.
I expect there is something keeping you from switching out enchant weapon or familiar and keeping it on if not you can swap these spells in and out if not the following.
If archon isnt keeping up and the AP is stacking high it or spectral can be switched in and out over 30 secs time span for an AP nuke the damage will be high regardless. Evocation can switch out for black ice Ray of frost can switch in or for AoE 13 shot meteor can switch in with conflag. Should be able to keep up slow time and mirror image.
Seems like a fair bit of charging about to grab up mobs for crits, crit gear would help.
Ray of frost will only hit one target will not get enough crits for critical mass, spectral blade will hit many this is intended for enjoyment not inferno.
Blizzard can sub in for spectral blade as an ap dump with the 25% crit modifier and freeze chance if archon is not up also as shown here http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#lmSWTP!YTb!aZacZZ
It will do a lot of damage archon has defense boost as does slow time and mirror image, enchant weapon has knockback.
What I'm saying is if the slow time effect carries over its rune to archon slow time, you might just as well switch out the increased archon damage on the archon spell and use the slow time rune archon.
Hmm, frost nova would work out if you switched it in and out, but perhaps doubling up on the switches might get a bit much.
Really we would want to try and get our crits on the disintegrate beaming while still in archon and up the duration of archon with the kills in archon as well as decrease the cooldown at the same time and get them as close as possible. But yes if our crit was poor switching in those two abilities would work.
I'm not expecting the other moves to be usable during archon but instead to last for some of the period hopefully, otherwise archon itself is starting to look pretty weak a spell.

Grab an AoE spell with range, such as meteor or arcane orb. A more ranged generator (There are a few that hit more than one person) will help too.
Besides the survivability problem it looks like a solid build concept. You can always further tweak it once you get to try everything out.

^Would like to see a DPS meter on this
But yeah, might want to lose the spectral blade because chances are, something (ranged enemeis and bosses) is gonna get up close and fast and kill you. Try meteor, as someone said above.
You could use indigo electrocute, it probably will hit more people with indigo electrocute than crimson spectral. Even indigo spectral blades would serve your purposes better. Although I'd like to make a very important note: Critical Mass has a CHANCE to reduce your cooldowns by 1 second on critical hits. That means you've got rng compiled on top of rng. It may be best to switch out your Archon's rune to golden if you want as much Archon uptime as possible.
Just a thought on the matter, take it as you will.
Well if not runed in Archon mode you will not have Slow Time or Teleport.
And because we don't yet know what spells we will get in Archon mode, it is also speculation to think that you will have Mirror Image in it, as for your defensive Ability.
I'm sorry that i misunderstood your enjoyment build hehe.
Well ill try to improve it a bit, or well do my best to add some ideas.
Since you will go into melee to spectral blade them, take Frost Nova with an Alabaster Runestone. If you hit 5 targets atleast, your crit chance is increased by 30% for 12sec. Combine this with your Blizzard's Alabaster Runestone and voilla you got your high crit chance.
I count 4 defenses, slow time, mirror image, archon, and obsidian magic weapon.

I do not see anything what could increase your crit chance hit... skill build is too weird.. u want to do much damage with crit hits...
