This build is pretty optimised I can assure you , we've tested it with an unoptimised group (really unoptimised) and it was really great. It would replace the monk , but even then , it could take the place of the barb but it would be a bit less effective since IP on gargs is really nice.
But, i've found that this build : http://www.d3planner.com/296790524 (optimise it the way you want) is really good as a 2nd dps in groups.
With WD the twister buffs 6% crit (and helps us with our cooldowns) but with monk playing mangle it increases fire damage by 15% so the wizard buffing is pretty insane!
Where's toxin!? Why no EB + Conflag? Why snarl/impede pulls and strongarm buffs with Halo of Arlyle ? (I've never found arlyle setups to be optimal for zwiz - buff costs two active skills and a ring, has low uptime, and lovks out other buffs and pulls)
I've used a similar spec and it holds meta promise and is quite nice for speeds.
Toxin? the barbs takes it
EB not needed since i'm procing conflagration with twisters and EB would be a loss for the group , there aren't a lot of space for spells. (Twisters lower de cooldown of blackhole significantly so you can spam blackhole to use event horizon)
Snarl/implede ?????
2 actives ? no you need you'd take ice armor either way and frost nova is only for the buff not for the ring
I have tested it and you'd have to show me more in depth what's on your setup but it doesn't look better
If you enjoy playing wizards and you'd like to roll them as your seasonal character. I wanted to share with you that Support wizard is a thing and it's reliable.
From what i've seen, spike trap builds were looking like shit, maybe nobody looked into a group optimised version, but I don't think we'll see this build unless they buff it before the patch is released
Nice ideas, but I don't like the elemental ones. If you want attack speed (increses your attack speed – stacks x times / bleeding elites give max stacks) you'll need a physical rune on your skill but maybe the physical rune is shit :x
UPDATE : I've Done a GR92 in 11 minutes with the Support Wizard .
Support Wiz Paragon 960 , Support Barb Paragon 1500 , DPS Witch Doctor fully augmented paragon 1200 and DPS Witchtor really low augments paragon 1100.
Survivability wasn't an issue but healing would've been nice , that's why I think monk will be better than wiz for supporting 2 WD but if we take the Generator Monk as up there in the post, it could probably go quite high.
It could maybe be a couple GR bellow the 2 WD but still a lot different and more dynamic meta
Don't you remember last season, there was an attempt to break the wizard meta. The meta could've been Wizard Support, WD Zdps , Barb Zdps and Elemental Arrow Demon hunter. But it made the game lag too much. Saying that The wizard can stack up ennemis with more density so stacking area damage is more efficient. And Monk is less likely to make the game lag IMO.
And even then the wizard support would've been viable, but now that all support besides the Wizard zdps have been nerfed, I think it could get him a spot and you shouldn't dismiss this right away

This is what I would use for 2 man (while it may not be the best for top leaderboards, it's still pretty good) : http://www.d3planner.com/993856026
Edit: particularly playing with raiment generator monk

(swap thunderfury for solanium if barbs already has it)
I have personnaly tested all those builds and they work. on ptr we have done a Gr92 in 11 minutes with an unoptimised group!
don't judge a book by it's cover boys
So fellow wizards, enjoy!

and on the patch note it's written exactly the same way as the PTR 2.4.2 patch note !

Other update: I think that a Dagger dps DH would also be an option for testing as the 2nd DPS next to the WD : http://ptr.d3planner.com/845726630
While dealing a ton of damage to elites and the boss, he's buffing the other member (mainly for WD) : 50% DR (turret + numblng traps) , 15% damage)
