I returned to skyrim and tried many builds, but in the end I loaded up my level 24 nightingale swordsman. It's the most fun I've had with any character as far as I can remember.
If you are on PC, the mods Balanced Magic, Apocalypse Spell Package, and Upgrade Leveled Items Spell are great for this build. The first one lets illusion spells scale in strength with level among other things, the second adds some great illusion spells such as "Bend Shadows" which is a projectile spell that when it hits a target you teleport behind that target. The last one allows you to get your nightingale gear whenever you feel like and upgrade it as you level up.
