So I've chosen to disable electives with my Wizard, and found MW, Familiar, and SA to be in the same category. I don't have all the runes unlocked but I am finding SA to be far better that the other two due to the massive difference in damage.
So for what reason would I ever use MW or Familiar when they do around 20%, while SA does 100%?

Magic weapon and Sparkflint both boost overall DPS of everything, where storm armor only provides 100% weapon damage to enemies in the area. If your wizard relies on other methods of killing, such as archon form or wicked wind, then MW and Sparkflint provides more benefit. Also, a lot of wizards like to run with energy armor for survivability anyway.
