Second your build only has 20%pen which is pretty low especially considering the amount of good penetration options.
Third i don't think that magus is good as it only seems worth it for the fire stance which you will not be using a lot in conquest other than to finish off a kill for which the damage should already be high enough. Otherwise you mostly poke with ice which magus isn't good for because it only increases blizzard damage which should realistically not get that many ticks off and arcane for which it only increases the tick damage on the 1 which definetly does not seem worth it.
Soulreaver overall would just be a better item for your build as it fits merlins kit and playstyle way better and at least gets you to 30%pen.
I would say drop magus for divine/deso and then replace gem with reaver and your build will overall just be a lot better and fit merlin way better.
