This is my usual tactic! And it works well!
Cast stoneskin
Cast Fireball at enemy in the distance to weaken them
Then when they rush me i cast cone of cold to weaken them badly!
Then switch to:

high AC/dangerous enemy: Elven Court with +14 attack bonus or magical attacks
medium AC enemy: Chaos Sword +2 for confusion effects
low AC enemy: Dual weld Galdiator Acid sword and shortsword+2

then summon a celestrial avenger into the enemy to help.
From my aspect, as a Ranger mainly - 11th level, I go in with fighting stance. Usually get some assist from my Rogue skills as I get sneak attacks, Things turn really sour or enemy is pretty weak or I need to buff, I turn to my scrolls. I have decent AC normally (48 AC) so haven't really needed ghostly visage or Cat's Grace or anything. I do like to use them from time to time on the really tough battles. I always keep some heal potions or my ring of health nearby in case of massive damage (Dragon's breath weapons mainly). Sometimes I will just summon my familiar / companion / and will do some kind of monster summoning (usually a celestial avenger with greater planar binding or Gate, but if I use Gate, I do have to cast protection spells first, which I have as a normal spell as a Sorceror 1st level.) My summons don't last a long time, but they do help out against numerous enemy. They help to draw fire away from me. I heal them as I can if I am able though. Or re-cast Gate if needed from scrolls.
