Need some help here with dragonstorm mage spells. It is currently level 40, hoping to do final spell selections at level 41. It is a 30sorc/10bdd with epic spell penetration, epic spell focus evocation, epic spell focus necromancy and will have epic spell focus illusion. What do you guys think?

Don't worry about final selection until 60 as you can change spells in legendary levels (and possibly even after, since your CC is sorcerer).
Keep in mind SR becomes more of an issue in legendary levels, what make non-DSM spells usually worse.
I'd reccomend:
9s: Pretty much what's expected (but you will not be able to beat bosses SR in legendary areas with CL-10 with bigby) - Let's call it free slot
8s: Grab Summon Creature 8 instead of sunburst (CL-10 hits sunburst hard) and perhaps Horrid instead of Polar Ray
7s: Drops finger for Static field (there's no reason to ditch this spell)
6s: Keep CoD (if you have no other necro spell) or try another thing like IGMS (they've been buffed)
If you are undecided on illusion tome consider these alternatives:
Conjuration for Gate and better summons
Transmutation for Epic Wall (and maybe slow)
Illusion means better Ghostly visage, a bit more conceal on Ethreal Visave and possibly a Weird for non SR mobs - the epic is worse than DSM's hell ball
-edited-
About the level 9s:
I'd recomend doing a test, check if Detonate has the same CL problem that disintegrate have, if it doesn't i.e. it doesn't required CL to insta kill, it might be a good choice to deal with problematic mobs without conceal.
