Basically the only time a wizard gets sustained dps above a shaman pet is with a rend robe. Probably not true but not far off.

Incredibly sad, but probably true. I'm not sure what the maximum +mana regen you can get is, but let's say between medding and C2, GoB, PotG, and Bard song you regen 50 mana a tick at level 60. Using the 4:1 damage to mana ratio of your best spell (ice spear), your maximum sustained damage is 200 per med tick or 33.3 damage per second. This is worse than a decently equipped paladin with only worn haste. And this assumes no resists and maximum mana regen. It's even worse under average conditions.
Toss a clicky robe in the mix though, and things get waaay better. Just spamming a Velk robe gives you ~42 dps for zero mana (other than the med ticks you miss while casting). Pepper in an occasional ice spear on top of robe clicks and you are in way better shape sustained dps-wise. Groups would be well-advised to take on a robe-clicking wizard at end game, though in my experience most are still uninterested. Sad wizard face.
