Your system seems like it could work, though I'm currently finding myself "resisting" it because you've designed for effect instead of coming up with something that simulates "nature." But that's just my puritan rules soul talking, and really I can't find any reason to object to your system other than my personal prejudice against DFE type mechanisms... ;-)

I'd use
M vs M because IQ doesn't fit well at all IMHO. Plus, wizards shouldn't be the masters of the social realm -- most high intensity super-geeks don't have the time or interest to hone their social skills; the stereotype is that they're controlling an insensitive and I've seen it in action (and I've been the guilty one at times).
