Ionian. Makes for early game dominance. For CDR you get 10% Overload + 15% Ionian + 10% from Glacial Shroud (before you have enough money for Frozen Heart). You will have crazy spam early. Later when you complete Frozent Heart (probably after you get some Mag Resist or finish AA so it may take awhile) you will go over CDR by 5%. Which is OK because Sorc Shoes are wasted on Ryze when you use Spell Flux within close range and get a bunch of bounces lowering their Mag Resist. With Archaic Knowledge mastery and Spell Flux your Sorc Shoes will be wasted because you can't penetrate below 0. With earlier CDR your innate Arcane Mastery will refresh all your spells faster as well.

Also, you will be able to buy other runes besides CDR. I would suggest mana runes for true early game damage and a large pool of mana to spam with.
