Well, it's a tactic for a "finished" build, with all the pros and cons.
Me, I don't play beyond lvl 15/16 as that is my endgame, but if you plan to play until 20, you may actually think about such things, as that Disintegrate tactic may hold true for 25% of your game then.
Actually, you could chose both traits at the start, Magical Lineage and Wayang Spellhunter, as they are compatible (Magic, Regional), one for Shocking Grasp, the other for Disintegrate.
You could also pick VMC Sorcerer or Wizard (Arcane, Universalist) to pick up Metamagic reduction from there, but that's a bit overkill then.
