I like the idea of being able to do some cc in groups and dps like crazy over a short period of time. What is it about raiding that really let's a Wizard shine?

When you're in an xp group, you're trying to do as much damage over a sustained period...think of it as trying to run a marathon. A wizard is more of a sprinter, they can sprint really fast for like 100 yards, but if they're doing a marathon they have to crawl the rest of the way. Kunark and old world raid mobs are more like sprints with low hp levels, but some raid mobs in velious are again more like marathons and wizards kinda fall behind. Although bane nukes can offset this a bit.
Also on this server gear is really easy to come by, and even an untwinked melee will have weapons that a player on live with equivalent playtime would gawk at. My warrior on live was dual wielding langseax until level 20 (6/23 1hs) I don't think I've seen a single one on this server. This has also helped to relegate wizards to the least wanted class in xp groups.
