Depends on what you're running. My group tends to do LH sagas, which are easier in general but they also have higher saves because they're legendary. So I might grab embolden first. If I'm doing at-level stuff, intensify. And of course grab your spell crit (and maybe a 2nd!), and ruins if you're in draconic.

Epic Mental Toughness/Epic Spell Focus at 21 as Aelastiar said, depending on the line you took already.
Epic Spell Power: Fire at 22
You could go with Embolden or I still like Master of Fire at 24. Just too many Scorches going out for me.
I don't take Wellspring until 27. I don't like the 30s duration, so I wait till I can get the duration upgrade in Draconic at 26.
At 30, I take the other of the two that I did not take at 24.
I don't run with the Ruins.
For other destiny feats, kind of by your playstyle. I tend to use a lot of Mass Holds (Person/Monster) and run with other stunning guildies, so I take Crush Weakness. Sounds odd but it does help clear things out. Then I usually slip in a Toughness for one and take Epic Toughness at 33.
34 is Titan's blood until I can pull that darn Heartshard. Then I will swap to Spell Specialty Enchantment.
A lot of it depends on how you play and at what difficulties.

I take Greater Shout for one of my level 8 spells and then turn off all Metamagics on it for pretty much the same reason.

Presuming you're going for T5 Draconic for Ruin Intensified, then you definitely want Wellspring of Power (21), Ruin (27), and Greater Ruin (30). You're also probably going to take Epic Spell Power (Fire) at 22 and Elemental Form Specialty at 31.
From there you have some wiggle room with remaining feat slots:
From there you have some wiggle room with remaining feat slots:
- Epic Spell Focus for +1 DCs and so you can take School Specialty at level 34 (it's that or Titan's Blood)
- Burst of Glacial Wrath for the CC, especially as a combo with Dragon's Breath
- Embolden and/or Intensify Spell
- Epic Spell Penetration and/or Mental Toughness if you took the two heroic feats
I think not taking ruin is a complete mistake. The burst potential they bring is huge. Master of fire is outdated now with scorching ray. You dont need fireball/scorch to fill in gaps in your rotation anymore, and their damage is terrible even with the increased level. 1d6+2/3 at mcl32 is only 176 and 208. They're just not worth the time to cast anymore. Meteor swarm/dbf/arcane tempest/breath epic strike is more than enough aoe I think, and for single target scorching ray fills in all the gaps: awaken fire, gruin, ray, ruin, ray, arcane tempest, ray, meteor swarm, ray, dbf, ray, then repeat. Theres only a very small window in that rotation when everything is on cooldown, and the feat isnt worth it. I used to love master of fire until how realized just how low the damage is on 1d6+2/3 even with the "removed" mcl.
I think Intensify is mandatory because its 1/4 of your dots spellpower (to my understanding on how they scale).
What's the point of elemental form specialty?
