First of all wrath is strictly more damage than haste, although the bonus ms is probably nice for mapping when you don't need the damage. My advice for upgrades is to swap out the diamond ring for a good cerulean one (life, mana, any needed resistances and if you can fit it in some cast speed) and try to get a decent wand with spell damage, mana, hybrid mana and cast speed, from my testing even with 9 charges a wand with 80% spell damage and 100 mana explicits and a spell damage runecraft is going to be more damage a lot of the time (I'm running militant dominus over doryani's because I have found that svalinn with hiero's ludicrously large hit pool is enough survivability so far and I don't have a source of frenzy charges, without inner conviction the math for void battery gets much worse). Additionally running Doryani's vanity without having sources of life and es leech feels awful to play with, I would recommend at minimum picking up a cluster with doryani's lesson and possibly stormdrinker as well (normally you would get the es leech from the tree but you have pathed far more around the center than most archmage builds I have seen).

Looking pretty good, suggestions are:
Get a new wand. Void battery really only shines with min/max power charges, ie synth implicit rings Get corruptedblood immunity on a jewel, then drop life flask for 3rd utility flask Quality all flask Swap Healthy Mind jewel for Light of Meaning Mana jewel, have it overlap with unnatural instinct ring. This will be a slight mana loss, but big HP gain. Swap assassins mark and punishment, this will let you drop power charge on crit for intensity. 20/20 for all your gems. 21/20 on relevant ones. Things to work on: Ailment immunity (stormshroud jewel is the easiest) “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”
