Those that play a char will allways wish to be badass and HUMBLE

Please tell me that I can use a wand of mark rune if I have divination as a prohibited school.

[Tsidkenu]

Yes you can.

[Darksol]

Right. In that case I will drop divination and keep necro. So I think I should get epic conjuration and epic necro. Necromancy summons will benefit from Thaumaturge feats, while from what I have read it is an equally strong, if not stronger, school for DC spells to illusion. Am I correct?

Not sure if I want to drop 2 Gr. Int for epic gate and an epic spell, perhaps vamp. feast. Any opinions? Are those two feats worth a DC decline from 31 to 30?

[Sun Wukong]

Vampiric Feast is the strongest spell, it is also evil. You made the save, but you are still at half health. (Some bosses are exception though, if I recall correctly.) But ultimately, it is your build and the difference at 31 and 30 base, is 5%. It is nothing, and it is massive. Depends on the situation.

If you are unsure what to do, I would leave the choice to late epics. You get to see if you want the +1 DC, you get to see others use different epic spells, and then you make the right choice for yourself.

Personally, I just do not bother with epic spells. I can spend the spellcraft skill points elsewhere.
