I'd regard your spells (the 100s and 200s in particular) as relatively high (considering you are spell aim trained) and overall lore level as relatively high. I'd regard perception and PF as low, particularly if you fancied bandits. Basically solid and if you wanted to diversify away a bit from combat skills or beef up your manoever defense you could afford the points to do so.
There are quite a few new spells. 319 allows radically different tactics, and you should make sure you get a symbol that works with 340 if you don't have one already. Read up on 314 and 335 too. 350 might be new to you as well. https://gswiki.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/319 and the others are linked from there.

thanks for the help folks, here he is now. I think i used to hunt both hands open inf offensive and channel for full damage but don't know if that is still an option. I dropped the bolting in favor of more cleric spells and and pf. Been soloing troll kings with mild success so far. They've killed me once out of about 10 trips so far better than anticipated. I can not do the full offensive both hand open channel with them but figure that's due to the uphunting. Any hands free channelers at cap care to share their training/tactics?

Control from guarded plus staff casts, kill from open hands offensive channels. If you aren't seeing much extra damage from open hands offensive (+40 to effective warding margin) you wont see any from one hand guarded channeling (+5). Might as well have the option to run in soft RT.
You might find a rank of TWC worth having if you reckon a rank of brawl is worth while. I'm not sure if 1 rank brawl is enough to activate it, but TWC helps open handed defense too these days.
Its probably the froth rather than the uphunting that gets you smacked by MTKs. You need to stop them swinging, because any swing might be a froth and a froth can go straight through you.
