Hail,
Here's my Arcane Wizard: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wi...YXU!YaZbbb
I think it's important to focus on one or two damage abilities while devoting your other skill slots to defense or utility. After actually playing the game, I have a feeling we're going to need as much survival skills as possible and arcane power buffs.
The idea behind this build is to open with Diamond Skin to reduce incoming damage, while at the same time taking advantage of the rune which reduces arcane power spell cost. This means I can cast 5-6 arcane orbs within a very fast amount of time (thanks to +max arcane power spells/talents). That's over a thousand weapon percent damage being dished out.
After I nuke a target and deplete my arcane power, I'll use whatever defensive skill I can to run around while my power regens. I think the nature of this build will be very good against bosses, as they tend to have a spell or two that requires you to just run away- the perfect chance to regen AP.
