I don't think anyone can pick DFT without having an ungood feeling about it. Not only apply all poke mages it for half the time (0.125 AP) and forsake the base damage of Thunderlords, they also lose out on either 3-8 Mpen or 5% CDR. (Notice that all poke mages want one of these values)

Then they have to choose between the manaregen based on missing mana or decreasing summoner spells CDR.

Seriously, the left tree simply is crap. Look at Precision and where it starts to lose out to the %pen. And then add a Voidstaff/Dominik and the values shift even higher. 5% CDR on the other hand fastens up your combo in mathematical sense (as it stacks additively instead of multiplicative) for up to 8.3%.

And +10 AD/+15 AP at level 18? That's less than 1 AP per level, what is that crap? Lifesteal I suppose is nice for AD's, but spellvamp is only good on a really small amount of mages... tbh, I think it's only good on Cassio out of all mages, and only picked because people perceive the alternative as being even more useless.
