I'd say not to emprove too much skills that you won't use at ~5x-60+ because as you know most of spells change and than you have to start from the begin with skill emprove. I'd say check which skills you'll keep and which you won't use anymore, and emprove only the ones you'll use even after 60.
Donno on what you usually put your emprove points, but I think best thing to do is to put them at cooldown, gonna be useful

My empowerments @ 89

Magic Blast - Damage (5pts) & CD (5pts) This skill is now spammable with full CD 4.0secs - 2.8secs (1.0 sec cast time) the Wiki needs correcting

Fire Ball - Damage (5pts)

Frost Nova - CD (5pts)

Inferno - CD (5pts)

Chain Cast - CD (5pts)

Drain Mind (Fear) - CD (5pts) & Duration (5pts)

Stifle - CD (4pts)

u shouldn't be spamming MM1 anymore so the points in CD can be removed. Same goes for firebolt CD.

Other options for empowerments would have been Fire Ball - Cooldown, or Stifle - Duration.

I debated about Duration or CD on Stifle, but with the new PvP KQ being a factor, along with Guild Wars, CD was a more sensible choice than the 1vs1 based Duration empowerment.
