Here are some of my common setups for MK Sorc. There are tons of small things you can adjust per Boss, but hopefully this can help people get a baseline of where to start at.
_____Notes_____
I almost never use the Azure MK setup, but there are certain places it's worth running, like outside in ansuul hm, or a bahsei hm group if lacking cleave (not a common thing with arcanists)
If you don't have scribing your spammable would be rapid strikes most places, which is much easier to sustain so you may have to swap out a back bar mag skill for a stam one.
_____Things I change often change_____
Relequen This set can be better than coral riptide for dps if group buffs are good (unsure in u45), I just put coral since it's a  generic set and helps emphasize keeping your stamina low.
Traveling Knife Signature: Ideally a raid group has 1 dps in each of the following Warriors Opportunity  and Assassin's Misery . While it is most common for the sorcerer to be responsible for Warriors Opportunity, a team may want you in Assassin's Misery instead
Liquid Lightning: I'll either change the morph of this skill to Lightning Flood  for slightly less stamina drain and more group synergies, or on rare occasions I have fully swapped this for Mystic Orb if no one else in the group is running orb.
Maelstrom Two Hander: This is currently always be the best back bar weapon option for sorc for DPS, but there are other options that are all fairly close.
Maelstrom Bow, Masters Bow, Maelstrom Inferno, (rarely BRP Dual wield)
