I think the biggest problem Wizards have is the lack of a dps clicky. It's just mind boggling that Shamans get the JBB while Wizards get nothing at all until VP/Velketor. A good wizard (i.e. one that plays like an enchanter) is much better than a wizard that nukes, pulls threat, nearly dies, and then AFKs for 10 minutes. But even a good Wizard is going to be way behind an Enchanter or even an Magician.
This is not to say that Wizards aren't useful; they are superb at AE, quadding, porting, and blowing up raid bosses. And unlike Druids, Velious does nothing to fix their XP group problems.
