This build allows 4-6 minute rifts, good style and fun gameplay. Watch the video below and please upvote if you like the build. I will post any improvements as they come in. Thank you!

Affixes
Orange are required. Yellow are preferred. Green are the easiest to exchange or make due without.
Secondary resists are preferred on items. In general, shoot for at least 450k life, 400% CHD, 50% CHC, and 90% AD.

Head: Socket / Meteor% / INT / CHC
Shoulders: CDR / EB% / Int / AD
Amulet: Socket / CHD / CHC / Fire%
Chest: 3 Sockets / INT / VIT / Armor+ or Elite%Red
Wrist: Fire% / CHC / INT / VIT
Gloves: CDR / CHC / INT / CHD
Waist: INT / VIT / Life% / Armor+ or LPS
Legs: INT / 2 Sockets / VIT / Armor+ or LPS
Boots: Meteor% / INT / VIT / Armor+ or LPS
Ring1: Socket / CDR / CHD / CHC
Ring2: Socket / CDR / CHD / CHC
Weapon: Socket (Gifted) / CDR / INT / AD
Offhand: CDR / CHC / INT / AD or VIT or APoC

CDR
With CDR listed, you will have 67.97% CDR. This allows for a 1.92s CD on EB, 3.84s CD on Black Hole, and 3.52s CD on Teleport.
Quicker casts = more Tal Rasha uptime, more damage, and increased CC / survival.

Area Damage
You'll want at least 2 affixes dedicated to area damage, 3 or 4 would be better. With paragon, this will give you anywhere from 90% to 134% AD.
For a bit more info on area damage, see this video. Chain Reaction's fast attack allows AD to proc fairly often.

The Cube
Furnace - As no other elite damage is present, this provides the largest damage boost, and greatly lowers clear time.
Leoric's Crown - Required to meet CDR Levels. Can be swapped for Krelm's buff belt. See Swaps section below.
Convention of Elements - When combined with other bonus damage (Tal Rasha + Bastions of Will), allows for even greater damage increase. Synergizes well with Tal rasha concept, increasing damage of abilities that don't necessarily do much otherwise, and further increasing EB damage. Meteors are on a separate timing, so CoE will increase meteor damage as well.

Other Notes
High CDR will require Inspire. If running in a group, you can instead swap out an affix on source (VIT or AD) for APoC.
Shoulder is optional. Death Watch gives more damage, Spaulders of Zakara // Homing Pads improve quality of play.
Diamond in Helm, Emerald in Weapon. Topaz in other gear.

Utility - RCR > AD only if you start running out of AP, otherwise AD > RCR.

Build Guide

Shunpo is a term referenced from the anime Bleach, that describes quick movement or "Flash Steps".

Channeling this ability, the wizard directs a chaotic whirlwind of power and destruction, decimating foes.

Other aspects of the Shunpo user include the ability to misdrect their enemy in battle, and on occasion, summon speed clones.

-------------------

Purpose

Farm TX for Rift keys, greater legendary drop chance, and death's breath in balance. Sage set is included under the Swaps section below. CoE provides too much of a damage boost to pass up, at least for Torment X.
I love the way this build plays!.. super fun and you don't have to think about teleporting around like you would with In-Geom.

Strategy

Stun enemies with Teleport (Calamity) and Magic Missile (Glacial Spike). CC and group enemies together with Black Hole (Supermassive). Images will also taunt, stun and CC for you.
Run over gold to gain defense and speed. Kite the rift boss near other mobs or extra gold and pick up occasionally as needed.
With Strongarms equipped, make sure to place Black hole on high value targets. With APD equipped, use your stun abilities to gain additional defense and survive when the Goldwrap buff is down.

Passives

Audacity - Required.
Evocation - Required.
Illusionist - Allows for high mobility. Buff will be up almost 100% of the time. Recommended.
Glass Cannon- Higher damage allows quicker clear. As long as you keep the goldwrap buff up, loss of defense is not an issue. Recommended.

Configuration

Use Teleport on left click to easily direct your character without activating force move. Use (force stand + teleport) to activate Teleport.
Use the num lock method on Explosive Blast and Mirror Image. While the casting is not perfect (I notice ~.3s gap between blasts), it is better than I could ever do in rotation.

Swaps

Survival issues? Try:

Swap Glass Cannon in favor of Unstable anomaly. Second life can be nice at times.

For more Movement Speed:

Swap Strongarms for Warzechians.
Swap Leoric's Crown for Krelm's Buff Belt. Consider swapping BoP for Gogok to make up for lost CDR.

For more Defense:

Swap Strongarms for APD. Increased defense will allow you to survive when you don't have the Goldwrap buff up.
For even more defense, drop Force Weapon in favor of Force Armor or Pinpoint Barrier (5% Crit). Consider swapping BoP for Gizzard.

For DB farming / lower torment:

Lethal DB Farming Spec:
[2.3] Lethal (In-Geom / Woh + Tal's 6) - T7-T8 DB Farming
by Cratic
- Evocation
- Audacity
- Illusionist
- Dominance
Shock Trooper Spec for DB / bounties farming. This one is good if you've just started gearing:
[2.3] Shock Trooper Wizard - (Tal's 6 / Woh + Craftables) T7-T8 Speed Farming
by Cratic
- Evocation
- Audacity
- Illusionist
- Dominance

Other:

For group, swap Glass cannon for Elemental Exposure.
Why Mocking Demise? More explosions, stuns, cc, better style =). Easily swapped out for Duplicates or another skill as needed. Fair warning though - the build doesn't feel as tanky without the Images.
