You can swap the Illusions Trait Line out for either the Inspiration Trait Line or Chao Trait Lines, as a way to improve your utility toolkit for instanced content, sacrificing a big chunk of your boon self-sufficience and some Damage.
Chaos Trait Line serves primarily as means of extending your Stealth duration via 
万华领悟, with some self-survivability measures sprinked in.
Inspiration Trait Line's utility is focused mainly around Resistance sources and improved Revive potential, with some Superspeed and Healing thrown in for good measure.
精神防御 for a Stun Break and Resistance on 
失真
模糊铭文 for improved Signet skill effects, and additional source of 失真
Sword can be taken instead of Focus but you will sacrifice a useful Pull for more Damage.
Rotation & Extras
Key Concepts
You summon Phantasms using your weapon skills and some utilties. Once a Phantasm has finished using its attack(s), it will become a Clone. Some attacks can create a Clone directly.
You can Shatter your Clones with four different skills:
心灵粉碎 for Damage
挫败之吼 for Damage and Confusion
误导 for Defiance Break- 失真 for temporary Invulnerability
Try to use 心灵粉碎 when you have three Clones. All of your Shatter skills improve with number of Clones used.
Dealing Damage
幻光纹章 can be used to reset your skills that summon Phantasms. Use it when 
幻影狂战 and 
幻影除魔 are on Cooldown.
Here's a list of your skills that summon Phantasms:
幻影守望 does decent Damage, blocks projectiles and provides Vulnerability- 幻影狂战 offers good cleave and Damage, with the initial throw also has Boon Removal
- 幻影除魔 offers Damage and Boon Removal
You also have two skills that summon Clones directly: 
幻象跳跃 and 
镜像飞刃, the latter of which has good Damage and provides some Might.
Use all the skills above off Cooldown except for 幻象跳跃 which can be used for mobility. In addition to the above, you should also use 
恍惚狂热 and 
心灵穿刺 off Cooldown.
苦痛咒语's second Charge should be used off Cooldown. Save the final one as to not put the skill on full Recharge.
Quickness helps improve your Damage significantly. Gain it by using:
You may want to hold off on using 秘法汲取 for Quickness and instead use it when you need a Condition Removal.
Use 
凡尘帷幔 → 
堕入虚无 to Pull enemies together to have an easier time cleaving them down.
Defense
Besides being an offensive skill, 恍惚狂热 can serve as a really decent defensive tool, as it makes you Evade attacks during its cast.
Use the Shatter skill 失真 for Invulnerability, with the duration based on the amount of Clones that you Shatter.
Use 秘法汲取 to transfer conditions to your target.
Your weapon skills with Defiance Break, 
幻象之波 and 凡尘帷幔, can also serve as means of defense.
