This is a showcase of the 1-Pet Sorcerer rotation recommended for use in trials in Elsweyr. This footage was filmed on the PTS 5.0.4 but is good to go for Elsweyr release.
The 2-Pet Sorcerer Rotation can be found here: • ESO - Magicka 2-Pet So...
This is a rotation performed on the new Raid Dummy. This means there are a selection of buffs and debuffs present, which allows easy comparison between different classes, and for other players to compare against each other, if they wish, as a 'solo' player, without the need of help from another player; a really valuable addition to the game.
Here I have made the decision to use the 'Ghastly Eye Bowl' food. This is so that we can compare more fairly with the Stamina classes where I used the equivalent food for Stamina classes. Also, to make up potential small sustain deficits from no availability from this dummy of Spell Absorption passive and resource return from extra synergies. The dummy also takes 4 minutes to kill. Considering very few fights need this type of sustained damage, and that my Magicka Drain is similar to that of the 6 Million Dummies I posted prior to this, I think this is reasonable. The DPS numbers for these dummies are mainly for comparison purposes.
Gear-wise I used Zaan, Mother's Sorrow and Siroria here. The new False God's Devotion set, which drops from Sunspire, looks to be an excellent set. In many real encounters where Siroria is not optimal, I may well be using Mother's Sorrow paired with this set and use Double Bloody Mara (which is now the best Bi-stat food).
Summary of relevant Magicka Sorcerer DD changes in Elseweyr, and my brief comments:
Daedric Prey now has a Pet Taunt functionality (similar to the one built into Heavy Attacks), and pets will prioritize these targets. Damage bonus for Pets from this ability has been reduced to 40% from 55%. Pets were already very strong, so this change doesn't really hurt the PVE Pet Sorc too much.
Liquid Lightning is now a 12 second AOE instead of 10 seconds. Lightning Flood is now an 8-second morph and had its damage increased by 5%. Very welcome buffs for the class, and now Lightning Flood is truly a great morph if it wasn't already. I would be using Lightning Flood now in any trial which involves cleave or trash DPS, even if Liquid Lightning's contribution to ST DPS may be higher.
Endless Fury now returns Magicka if you hit a target which dies within 5 seconds, rather than only for the killing blow. Increased the Magicka return by approximately 10%. This is a nice quality of life improvement for Magsorcs in PVE should you decided to use this skill.

--- Rotation
This rotation is a lot more simple than the 2-Pet Sorcerer rotation. It offers flexibility in bar space (space to slot a shield, or an execute, or surge etc) and is easier to sustain as well. I'd say this rotation, if performed well, offers the most incredible value for DPS vs effort, out of all Magicka Classes.
Daedric Prey is the most important ability to keep up. Followed closely are Lightning Flood (or Liquid Lightning if you rather) and blockade. Usually, I will recast Daedric Prey as soon as it explodes. Aim for 93%+ uptime on this ability. Rearming Trap and Twilight (until 50% enemy HP) are your lesser priorities in this rotation. Occasionally there will be conflicts in abilities that need to be reapplied, so keep the above in mind. Crystal Fragments and then Elemental Weapon should be cast whenever there is nothing else to do.
If I could suggest a static rotation, I would try the rotation below. It won't be as strong because the Daedric Prey uptime is lower, but otherwise, it should be pretty good:
Buff Up:
Channelled Acceleration - Twilight - Atro Ulti - Prey (then drop trap if you don't use acceleration)
Then
Flood - Wall - 5x Spammable (Ele Weapon/Frag) - Prey
Flood - Wall - Twilight (until 50% then just use 1x Spammable) - Trap - 3x Spammable - Prey
If there are questions, please do ask in the comments.
