Offensive Spells Cast:
NOTE:  Pull familiars onto page, and make them all able to speak. Alternatively, let's simplify this greatly. Suggestion: A familiar gives a +1 to +3 scaling bonus on one skill of your choice and call it done.
1 Sunder Breaker (multi-target, PC) (attack casting schedule: 9x sunder breaker)
 
  2 Sunder Breaker (multi-target, PC) (attack casting schedule: 9x sunder breaker)
==Familiars==
  3 Shatter (3x3x3 aoe)              (attack casting schedule: 1xShatter, 8x sunder breaker)
* Should be comparable in usefulness/coolness/power to bonded item -- interesting/difficult choices are good!
  4 Shatter (3x3x3 aoe)              (attack casting schedule: 2xShatter, 7x sunder breaker)
 
5 Pellet Blast (9x9x9 aoe)          (attack casting schedule: 1x pellet Blast, 3xShatter, 5x sunder breaker)
* familiars have two modes:
6 Pellet Blast (9x9x9 aoe)          (attack casting schedule: 2x pellet Blast, 4xShatter, 3x sunder breaker)
** on the person of their master, in which case, they provide a buff based on which critter was chosen
7  Firefall (13x13x13 aoe)          (attack casting schedule: 1x Firefall, 3x pellet Blast, 4xShatter, 1x sunder breaker)
** away from their master, in which case they serve as eyes/ears for remote locations, and can even be the focal point of a limited number of spells
8 Firefall (13x13x13 aoe)          (attack casting schedule: 2x Firefall, 3x pellet Blast, 4xShatter)
*** spells 3 spell levels lower than your max available spell level?
9 Fulgere (6x6 cone + damage shield + push) (attack casting schedule: 1x Fulgere, 2x Firefall, 5x pellet Blast, 1xShatter)
 
10 Fulgere (6x6 cone + damage shield + push) (attack casting schedule: 2x Fulgere, 2x Firefall, 5x pellet Blast)
* while on their master, they have no hit points, cannot be targeted, and can only be killed if their master is killed.
11 Armored March & Pellet Blast (quickened) (upgrade Shatter to PC) (attack casting schedule: 1x Armored march, 2x Fulgere, 3x Firefall, 5x pellet Blast, 7x Shatter)
* while away from their master, they have hit points (half master's? master's level + INT mod?) and can be targeted.
12 Armored March & Pellet Blast (quickened) (attack casting schedule: 2x Armored march, 3x Fulgere, 3x Firefall, 5x pellet Blast, 5x Shatter)
** Note, however, that while away from their master, they do not threaten, provide flanks, or occupy spaces. They squeeze with anything that enters their space, without penalty for either creature.
13 Armored March & Pellet Blast (quickened) (attack casting schedule: 3x Armored march, 3x Fulgere, 3x Firefall, 9x pellet Blast)
 
14 Armored March & Pellet Blast (quickened)  (attack casting schedule: 3x Armored march, 3x Fulgere, 3x Firefall, 9x pellet Blast)
* need to create a table of buffs provided while on their master, based on critter chosen.
15 Juggernaut's March & Pellet Blast (quickened) (attack casting schedule: 3x Juggernaut's march, 3x Fulgere, 3x Firefall, 3x Cold Ice Strike,  6x pellet Blast)
* should probably review the familiar feats again to make sure they still work with these ideas.
16 Juggernaut's March & Pellet Blast (quickened)  (attack casting schedule: 3x Juggernaut's march, 3x Fulgere, 3x Firefall, 3x Cold Ice Strike,  6x pellet Blast)
* should validate that these ideas are adequate to be comparable to a bonded item.
17 Invincible March & Pellet Blast (quickened)  (attack casting schedule: 2x Invincible march, 1x Juggernaut's march, 3x Fulgere, 3x Firefall, 4x Cold Ice Strike, 5x pellet Blast)
 
18 Invincible March & Pellet Blast (quickened) (attack casting schedule: 3x Invincible march, 3x Fulgere, 3x Firefall, 4x Cold Ice Strike,  3x Mass Hammerblow, 2x pellet Blast)
==Wizard Example Build==
19 Hex of Fissuring (TD) & Firefall (quickened) (attack casting schedule: 1x Hex(TD), 3x Invincible march, 3x Fulgere, 3x Firefall, 4x Cold Ice Strike,  3x Mass Hammerblow, 1x pellet Blast)
(Probably not actually a legal build; needs reviewed; keeping it here in case we get around to building a viable sample build later, so we can steal ideas from this one)
20 Hex of Fissuring (TD) & Firefall (quickened) - (attack casting schedule: 2x Hex(TD), 3x Invincible march, 3x Fulgere, 3x Firefall, 4x Cold Ice Strike,  3x Mass Hammerblow)

24 Lash of Iron (TD) & Firefall (quickened) (1x Lash (TD), 1x Verdigris (TD), 2x Hex(TD), 3x Invincible march, 3x Fulgere, 2x Firefall, 3x Cold Ice Strike,  3x Mass Hammerblow)
Example Feats

5th Level: Spell focus, Silent Spell. Let's see them make THIS saving throw. More important, gags and silence spells don't do a thing any more.
31 Lightning Sand (TD) & March (quickened) (3x Lightning Sand, 3x Lash (TD), 1x Verdigris (TD), 3x Hex(TD), 3x Invincible march, 2x Fulgere, 1x Cold Ice Strike,  1x Mass Hammerblow)

9th Level: Selective Spell. This lets you nuke at will, no matter what your pesky team-mates are doing.
35 Lightning Sand (TD) & March (quickened) & Verdegris (TD; multispell) (3x Lightning Sand, 3x Lash (TD), 1x Verdigris (TD), 2x Mage's Disjunction, 3x Hex(TD), 3x Invincible march, 3x Foehammer, 3x Fulgere, 3x Cold Ice Strike,  3x Mass Hammerblow)
 
10th Level: Elemental Spell, Acid.  You know what's better than fireball? Acid ball.
 
11th Level: Widen Spell: Size does matter. Oh yes, it does.
 
13th Level: Maximize Spell. Finally!  Some PROPER firepower!
 
15th Level: Greater Spell Penetration, Quicken Spell. Punch it through, baby, and then cast ANOTHER spell!
 
17th Level: Greater Spell Focus. Even harder saves.
 
19th Level: Spell Perfection. As a Wizard, perfection is your normal state.
