DD damage generally is the weakest source of damage. Wizards excel in DD efficiency.... but they are only 10 to 20% more efficient than the all the other casters which have a lot more tools to do damage (except cleric). When you compare damage done by a mage + pet against a wizard its not even funny. The pet alone will outdamage the wizard, and not by a small margin.
That's why people who want fast xp don't like wizards in their groups. Literally every other class will contribute more to damage. Of course there are situations where the other abilities of wizards become important...
The cruel thing is that newbies choose to play wizards because they think they get the best damage class and then... they get disappointed quickly.
