Hello, i tried to create a controling/tanking/boosting wizard with what i looted first : Halo of Arlyse and Strongarms Bracers. Look at it please : http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Lotib-2493/hero/54754391 (For the lazy ones.)
My guess when i began was : Halo of Arlyse = Tanking. Strongarms = Boosting allies. And to combine everything i could find to get as much controling / tanking / boosting done as efficiently possible.
From here on, it is but a question about what i could do to upgrade my stuff. (For people who are courageous enough to Theorycraft : this is my stuff i thought out.)
Pauldrons of the Skeleton King / Chaingmail / St. Archew's gage
Krede's Flame / Aether Walker / Dark Mage's Shade
Overwhelming Desire / Strongarm Bracers / Jang's Envelopment (didn't know what to put there else)
Halo of Arlyse / Cosmic Strand
(PLACEHOLDERS :) Captain Crimson's Thrust / Illusory Boots

Spells :
Black Hole > Event Horizon
Mirror Image > Duplicate
Slow Time > Time Warp
Ice Armor > Ice Reflect
Teleport > Calamity
Frost Nove > Bone Chill
Passives :
Unstable Anomaly
Blur
Elemental Exposure
Cold Blooded

Gems : Gems are what i thought about most i think, since i had to make sure none of my stuff actually blocked an effect. (Invigorating would have been blocked by Ice Climbers.)
Efficacious Toxin to increase damage boost
Esoteric Alteration to increase thoughness
Moratorium to increase survivability (thoughness).

I boost 103% dmg (always if Black Hole actually procs with Strongarm Bracers) to 138% (mono) right now
On Rift Guardian : 73% to 108% because black hole won't proc ever.
Max boost i can give at all time with what i thought out : 108% and mono : 143%.

My wand needs to be replaced to proc elemental exposure
Boots : Ice Climbers
Legs : Hexing pants of Mr. Yan
Bracers : need to be replaced with lvl 70 Bracers.
Everything else is fine-tuned, unless you find something off.
Next goal : full ancient.
What are your thoughts? Is it better or worse than WD? Is there anything i can change to give more boost to my friends?
Lastly : do Black Hole actually procs with Strongarms Bracers?
PS : Sorry if it is a WoT or if my text layout was a bit off, i'm not used to Reddit. I'll answer whenever i see a new post. If this is not the best place to post this, tell me, i'll move it to the right place. Again, sorry if my English isn't the best, i tried not to do any errors typing and corrected myself to the best of my abilities.
Thank you for taking the time to consider a little Wizard trying to make his way up to the top. Have a nice day / night.
