Lightning sorc build idea need help

Hello everyone, it's my first thread and my eng is horrible so i ll try to do my best ^^

I wanted to play some lightning build on my sorc and even if i m not a very good theorycraf boy i managed to finish campaign with this build :

- ascend : Chronomancer (20% slow aura and temporal rift for now)

- ball lighning : scattershot / coursing current / conduction

- lightning warp : unleash / considering casting / inspiration

- conductivity : heihtened curse

- cast on critical : lightning conduit / impetus / invevitable critical

- orb of storms : electrocute / overabundance / font of mana

weap 2 blink

I have some questions for u :

I recently tried cast on crit and with my current build i can't decide if cast on crit is better than cast on shock, i feel i shock a lot with ball lightning but energy bar with cast on crit feel better, does someone know at what point i should decide wich one is better ? ( certain amount of crit etc ?)

My friend advise me to play archmage but for now i don't have spirit to play both, should i play archmage until i have 200 spirit for cast on X ?

With the new update arc is buffed but still can't shock and i wonder if it's even usefull at this point ? my clear is really fast with warp + i can do boss with it. At the opposite i tried a little arc this morning, clear is ok but it's literaly useless for bosses so... i wonder why i would even consider this spell atm.

Maybe i should just keep my current build depending on ur thought about cast on X vs Archmage and just optimize gear with defensive and crit ?

I hope this thread is not horrible to read for u and someone can help me to optimize this. I found some help with outdated build but maybe i miss some important changes for the 0.2

Ty very much to anyone reading this have a good day and if u need more information to help me don't hesitate to ask !

I am in SSF with sorcerer and I can tell you, I can't even clear T1 maps. I have not enough gear nor orbs/gold to respec and lightning dmg is impossible to play. Sorc as it stands is just too weak to even play it...

Man, my dmg can't go above 2k dps with Arc, and my orb dmg is just 200 dps, cast on shock doesn't work at all as I can't shock enemies.
