Its not a crime for a Scholar to Melee.:P
Never, never, do that. Do Retribution > Blizzard V at least. Your Fragmentation will do 60% of your Retribution damage which I imagine will be poor at best. Retribution > Blizzard V will do 70% (with Savant's hands +2) of Blizzard Vs damage, which I imagine will be much better.

For solo purposes, Fire V > Thunder V is currently the best (70% of your Thunder V damage). Other than that I think its best to find a weaponskill you can steal and work on timing that. Doesn't work so well now that everyone has Empyreans and the sorts, most weaponskills I see these days have either Light/Darkness and some tier 2 property, which is absolutely useless for Scholar. If you can find something though it is one Stratagem that will do at least 60% extra damage, which is well worth the effort considering Ebullience will do +30% and nothing more.
A job ability that raises your next nuke to its tier 2 property under Immanence would be nice. Noctohelix > Stone V > that > Blizzard V would do Darkness for 110% of Blizzard V which would be amazing, but I imagine that would be impossible considering the extra ability delay. It would be amazing for the occasional DDs weaponskill you could steal, though.

Finally, is it possible with /blm to SC-ga?
Nope. Hopefully if they deliver on Manifestation nukes that will prove more fun.
