Wizards aren't the kings of nuking, they're only slightly better. They should also have a bit more group utility, I really liked SoD's idea by allowing them to give players a dmg proc buff, or if the game could be written as such, spell potency buffs along the lines of the later focus items.
Wizards were always propped up in terms of reputation as a class by "ooh, big numbers" or "omg banezzz" or "Quad kiting is neat!". Otherwise, the class was only a slightly stronger nuker than other classes, which was only relevant for about 60-90 seconds of certain raid battles. Otherwise, the pet classes were vastly superior in every aspect. Rangers > Wizards in sustained DPS, meaning wizards were literally the worst class you could have in a traditional group setting.

This is why I quit my ~50 wizard on live and grinded a monk straight to 60 (often soloing in Sol B/Lguk 50+ since groups were tough to come by unless you had huge blocks of time) and loved every minute of it.
