The way my Argonian Mage is, is that i spend 1 level in Health for every 3 levels in Magicka. At Lvl 81, he'd have 300 Health/700 Magicka base then, which would be enough health to allow him to survive an Ancient Dragon's bite with Ebony Flesh or Dragon Hide up. I use all schools of magic quite frequently on him. I of course use Destruction for damage, but i also use Restoration for Grand Healing/Heal Other for my Follower/Dog, Illusion for Call to Arms to buff my Follower/Dog/Summons, Conjuration for Soul Trap and dual Dremora Lords/Storm Atronachs, and Alteration for Ebony Flesh/Dragon Hide and Transmute.
His Robe is the Archmage's Robe, his Gold Ruby Circlet has Fortify Magicka/Fortify Magicka Regen, his Gold Diamond Necklace has Fortify Magicka/Fortify Destruction, his Gold Diamond Ring has Fortify Magicka/Fortify Magicka Regen, his Thalmor Gloves has Fortify Magicka/Fortify Carry Weight, his Thalmor Boots has Resist Shock/Resist Fire.
Here's his planned build. http://skyrimcalculator.com/#77264
