Sooo… I did some more playtesting, and I settled on a version which suits my own preferences quite well. It is a well-rounded archer/caster who can also turn into a very buffed dragon for boss fights and the like. The sling prowess is actually really nice to have even at high level, as it allows you to eat through mobs reasonably fast. You have so many spell slots that you can buff (and rebuff if dispelled), disable multiple rounds of enemies, and still have plenty of Evocation firepower.
Should I edit the original post/title with this update? Is there a good way to do this? The class split and even the initial stats have changed.
I should mention that this build is explicitly made for the World of Greyhawk server environment, several things should be done differently in other environments.
Here is my final version of the build:

You can figure out the precise skill schedule (I can post it if needed :)).
For Max’s pleasure (hopefully), here is what I would propose if I were to make a casting-focused version. I would drop the archery feats for Evocation focus and Scribe scrolls, and go Cleric 16 pre-epic to get level 9 spells asap. This version is untested as of yet.
