IW Mesmers are built on two skills:

Illusionary Weaponry

Flurry

That's the basic idea behind any given IW build. Outside of that you have room to work with it, as far as I can tell.

Another one you need to keep in mind is Keeping up with fleeing opponents. I suggest Etheral Burden for energy gain, it's recharge time might make it rather worthless in other situations though, so you can bring Imagined Burden as a backup. I've also tried using Illusion of haste and it works quite well as long as you maintain/chain them constantly. IW itself is useful and easy to maintain since its main purpose is to deal a constant flow of high damage. Anything past supporting this damage is up to you and unless you have some kind of secondary theme going on, then I can't help any further.

Don't forget the all-important cover enchantment. You always want to cast at least one more enchantment on yourself after IW, cause that thing just screams "disenchant me."

Yup... I'd suggest using illusion of weakness to give yourself 250 max health and to cover IW. You can go ranger primary for extra armor, decent energy, and tiger's fury. And you can use axes for cyclone axe. Usually IW mesmers debuff enemies and cast a few wastrels worries on them, as well as the occasional phantom pain+shatter delusions for a deep wound, then charge in and hack away.
