An exception to the level 14 rule of thumb for wizards: if you change to warlock you can still learn all spells you could as wizard, so you don't have to wait that long.
Note that you DON'T have to become warlock to learn identify: both wizard and priest can also learn the arcane lore trait at their guilds as soon as they're guild level 3. After gaining that trait you can learn the artifacts skill and start identifying. The only advantage to a warlock is he doesn't have to pay for the arcane lore trait since he automatically gains it. But he still has to be guild level 3 to get the artifacts skill! By the way, it's much easier to acchieve guild level 3 at the priest guild than at the wizard guild.
And about the question how long to stay one class before switching: try to figure out what you want from that class, using the manual for spells, and these lists for the traits and skills. As soon as you have what you want you can switch to another class. A tip with spells: vine and stone magic are harder to get, so be sure you get the best spells from those before switching away.
Sazerac: excellent list. Note to self: check traits and skills list to see if I can add info.
