At first I was sceptical at the 1 level in Sandstorm as I tend to max it along with the stun early on. But after some thought and testing I found this to be remarkably useful to have that extra mana there for another stun. Throw a Heart in the mix just for safe measure and your Sand King will be sweet.
I forgot to add (assuming you didn't have the items for it) 2 stat points also helps with a stun epi combo by level 6. Once you have arcange boots you tend to not need the stats.
It's basically so you have the extra mana for a 2nd stun - pure and simple. mainly between level 1-6, after that arcane boots and items should have you covered, so sandstorm at level 8 works for me. Also - most enemies will assume you have a point of sandstorm ^^,
