Not at all. Here's what you need to determine the spells to use for quadding:

1) Mana cost per current AoE
2) Damage per current AoE
3) Total Mana - i.e. how many AoE's can you cast, and therefore how much damage can you deal to each mob in your quad?

#3 sets your limitations, factoring in resists, etc. #'s 1 and 2 decide the ratio of the AoE you're using.

The ratio for most of the Al'Kabor type spells (with the exception of the 49 spell, which isn't all that great anyhow) are absolutely horrible. You'll use column of lightning until 34, when you can research circle of force.
