I don't depend on AOE alone to take down large groups.
Personally I prefer to lay down a carpet of fire fields a vortex or 2 and maybe a friend casting blade spirit. Kicks monster butt. However I still prefer a pack of highly trained and pet scroll fortified Zostrich for damage in groups.. They can't be beat!
IF you must go with spells I would start with mass curse chain lightning and some flame strikes and lightnings to take them down if still not dead. Also a Grand Master poisoner weapon will kill in seconds flat if the targets are not sufficiently resistant. Run around whacking them with your DP Blade while a friend casts the AOE.
