New skill setup for IC

Current Gear:
4 Arch-Mage (chest, belt, hands, legs)
2 Torug Pact (Staffs, head)
2 Warlock (feet, neck)
2 Willpower Light (rings)
1 Molag Kena (shoulder)

Possible setups:
4 Overwhelming Surge (Belt, Hands, Legs, Feet)
3 Willpower (Neck, Rings)
1 Molag Kena (Shoulders [Medium])
2 Magnus (Head [Light], Chest [Heavy]) 3 Magnus (Resto Staff)
2 Torug Pact (Dual Wield or one hand shield)

this enables you to maintain all pieces @ v16 for the new powerful glyphs... it also contains 5 spell damage stacks, 3 max magicka stacks on dual wield and 4 spell damage stacks, 3 max magicka stacks and 1 magicka recovery stack on resto staff. you can also swap the other piece of molag kena in place of magnus and have the 2 piece bonus only on resto bar or you can use dual wield and one hand and shield and use torugs pact on all for the 5 stacks of spell damage on both bars

or

3 Willpower (Neck/Rings)
1 Molag Kena (Shoulders)[Light]
5 Kagrenac's Hope (Chest)[Heavy](Legs, Head, Feet)[Light](Resto Staff & Sword or Shield depending if you are DW or 1HS)
2-3 Torug Pact (Belt, Hands)[Light](Shield or Sword){if you have a master sword I would swap the sword to it as the 3rd torug pact piece is just because you might as well have it as a set}

again this keeps the gear at v16 quality, but easier to attain than the new vet dungeons sets... it is easier to get. the 5 piece kagrenac's gives only slightly less spell damage than the overwhelming surge set .. however you will lose some spell damage with this setup.. what you will get in return is 1 - 2 health stacks in return... also lose 1 max magicka stack.
