Well, I am rather excited about the ES build myself, but I do not understand why do you say it does not need faster cast. A sorceress ALWAYS needs faster cast, but the ES build needs them most: her spells are frighteningly underpowered, so she needs to make up for that with speed. (Unless you go Orb, but can you spell BORRING?)
Also, I seriously believe it to be a wasted opportunity to use a non-staff weapon on an ES sorc. If lucky, you can get +6 to all skills from the weapon and the shield slot, what can only be surpassed by an even luckier Orb-find.
And yes, I know that I should not dream of finding that 4 socketed +3 ES +3 Chain Lightning +3 Lightning Mastery staff, but one can hope, can't one?
PS: Ok, on switch with GULL, this is an OK shield; I don't mind loosing the 5% MF over a rhyme...
