Problem, of course, with Orb Lightining is that it's Range 15 (fairly short), and will deal less damage then shockwave spam. Of course, that 15 range could mean salvation, but I would still go with shockwave over orb lightning, considering it's very likely they'll be able to march up and slaughter your would-be thug quite quickly (and, compared to shockwave, you'll likely deal less damage). If we're talking about magic here, thunderstrike would be much more efficient in decimating Abysian PD, considering it's Evo-4 (instead of Evo-5 like Orb lightning), and has much longer range (which is a godsend), and, overall, will deal more damage then Orb lightning. Course, there is the fatigue problem, but you can't have everything.
In conclusion, I would say that shockwave and thunderstrike would be preferable to orb lightning, with thunderstrike being the key evocation.
