I wasn't following builds for sorcerer. Just going with the flow.

I mainly use chain lightning, on 28 level with max mana 119. After 4 strikes, I'm out of mana. Just recently, I started using crackling energy with mana restore upon pickup. I feel like I could improve somewhere.

Any tips that doesn't involve looking at complete builds? Question aside, does diablo have a tool for showing your current char?

Update: Thank you for the tip! I'm looking after missing aspects and better gear with mana regeneration and cost reduction. In the meantime, I switched to ice. Opening with Blizzard then Frozen Orb with Frost Bolt support. Occasionally Frost Nova and Ice Armor if the group is really aggressive.

I think resource issues are a problem for most classes until you hit level 70ish. It seems that most builds start to really get fun from 70-80 range.

Having more max mana doesn't do too much to be honest, like others said, try to get the 2 aspects that helps with mana, one is the Recharging Aspect another is the one that gives you mana when you pop cool down, they will help. Then just try to stack resource reduction and cool down reduction.

Unfortunately CL builds are very mana hungry. The only way I was able to level up (currently 65 and just switched to arc lash, btw) was using the aspect that gives you mana back if CL hits yourself and the aspect that can proc additional chain lightnings. The first one really only works on single targets so bosses were easy to take down but I had issues with crowds unless I popped unstable currents.
