Most important thing for any lowbie wizard to do is build a solid reputation as a non-AFKing douchebag which is the stigma the class carries.
If the wizard has any personality, that goes a long way too. Just being a fun groupie will make people more inclined to invite you as a wizard.
The technical aspects that can endear you to a group as a wizard is:
1. Know you have more than just nuke spells. Use roots to help tanks hold aggro better or just for CC purposes if you need to root/park mobs since you have bad CC or no CC in the group.
2. Use DS if it proves to be more efficient damage over the course of your fights.
3. Don't nuke the mob when it's at 70%, this only makes killing the mob harder because you will yank aggro off the tank, and have the mob running all over the place chasing you meaning the melee in group miss hits on the mob. Nuke to finish mobs off.
I only met 1 wizard who did all of these things, and he was able to find groups in KC np at 50+. He also organized his own groups, so that helped.
