Here is my reccomendation:
energy shield?
if yes, put in 4 points of focus for every point into vitality. Or every point in focus. I reccommend te 4 and 1 so you don't have to cast e-shield for easy fights.
if no, then 2 points of focus for every 3 points in vitality.
Do I recommend energy shield? yes, max it. Then you have more focus and your spells will do more damage.
Pick fire or ice. Max each skill. Max corresponding lure. No junky builds here like 7 points in one blah.
so.. for a fire mage at level 80; 20/20 energy shield, 20/20 firebolt, 20/20 incinerate, 20/20 lure of fire. No messing around. Nothing else. Use other skills at 1/20. Buy 3 or so sigil packs to regen energy outside battle. Now go and own monsters and all other players

Why play a class where skills cost more than other classes for same damage?
Why play a class with no auto attack?
Why play a class with 1/3 the armor?
Why play a caster?
