Yes, it is. I was just logging in to say this exact same thing. The problem is that increasing one's maximum AP does not increase the rate at which AP replenishes. (I just tested it to be sure). So, the Energy Tap provides for one extra Obliterate Arcane Orb during the initial spam, but it doesn't help you in the long fight and Arcane Orb becomes that AP-sucking problem we discussed earlier. So, yes, I agree, it's back to Tap the Source, and I might use Energy Tap for a while until I start feeling like mobs are starting to hit harder.
Well, when my Wizard gets back to hell difficulty. *sniff*
