I'm not that a big fan of wizard since I find sorcerer fits me better but after the new conj spell change I found wizards with different school foci might get different fun. I donot have a chance to play with the conj spells yet since my wizard barred conj(the only useful conj spell at that time was bbod). So after having a crazy killer sorcerer, I'm thinking of getting the wizard to go mainly Conj/Evo foci just for the damage dealing style while still being able to cast banishment/weird/wail of banshee with Ledendary spell focus. Also, I found the abjuration epic spell and conj epic spell are pretty handy to have, so here it goes, a universal damage focus wizard with 6 epic spell foci.
What this build has:
-- 6 Epic Spell foci:
Conjuration: Orb series, Vitriolic Sphere, Evad Black Tentackle, Gate --- Epic spell: Bigby Swarm(Rak's bane)
Evocation: Gust of Winds, Delayed Fireball, Freezing Sphere, Chain Lightning, Thunderclap -- Epic spell: Missile Barrage
Necromancy: Wail of banshee, finger of death -- Epic spell: Death of Magic (Flux/Rak's bane)
Illusion: Weird, Etheral Visage -- Epic spell: Starfire(Mass kd)
Transmutation: Disintegrate, Flesh to Stone -- Epic spell: Transmute Barrier (Wall...enough said)
Abjuration: Banishment, Greater Dispelling, Energy Immunity -- Epic spell: Mass spell destruction (One of my favorite epic spells, Asmo and any boss' bane, -10%concealment, byebye Aboleth servant's buffs)
-- 4 Legendary Spell foci: Necromancy, Illusion, Transmutation, Conjuration
-- 1 Superior Spell foci: Necromancy
-- x2 Greater Ruin/day

Bracer: Prescient's Guard
Armor: Shimmering Robes of the Silvermoon
Cloak: Tia Wizard cloak
Amulet: Tia Wizard amulet
Belt: Tia wizard belt
Boots: Legendary Boots of Defense
Rings: switch it a lot depends on which layer it is
Demis:
Setup1:
Helmet: Helm of Zeal
Main hand: Tia wizard staff
Off hand: Ur-Ward
Bracer: Spellguards of Netheril
Armor: Shimmering Robes of the Silvermoon
Cloak: Tia Wizard cloak
Amulet: Amulet of Eramus
Belt: Tia wizard belt
Boots: Styxwalker (asmo boots)
Rings: Ring of the planewalker + bur ring(depends on the layer)
Setup2:
Helmet: Concordant Coronet (This is where the +14 int comes from too)
Main hand: Tia wizard staff

Personally i stick to the 2nd gear setup cuz i have the amni immune ring to replace asmo boots. but if not i'd suggest using the first gear setup. Both setups cover 35/- elemental resistance, 20/- exotic resistance, 20/- physical resistance, fear/poison imm and +12 to all stats.

Some Notes:
1.No max spell metamagic and it is really a waste of feats on wizard personally. I've never ever found me wanting to load any max spell on a wizard so far. all you need is to empower the damage spells.
2. Quickslot !cancel aoe, so when u want to gv/gs/rest, this helps cancel the black tentackle.
3. Quickslot !gateset, which makes it easier to get your gate location set.
