Wizards can't consistently be in the DPS ranking every pull or every kill. If we are talking single targets, then yeah, Wizard will look good. This is why I have always HATED having wizards in groups (other than AE groups obviously).
If you have a well balanced group, a wizard offers pretty much nothing to a group. You are chain pulling creatures and they nuke once every two pulls or so and really don't offer anything. Seriously. A pet class like a Magician will offer so much more with their pet DPS than a wizard ever will.

Wishful thinking I guess =). I always though Wizards should be near or at the top of the damage charts.

Nah, our sustained dps sucks. Wenai has it right - the problem with wizards is they really don't offer much to groups. You'd rather have a Vocarate: Water pet backstabbing the garbage out of a mob and a relatively afk mage than an equal level wizard if you're talking sustained dps. If we could really nuke a lot more often than the mage, we might be more useful. But such is classic.
Now, if you measure where we rank in damage on the last 60% of a boss (who happens to have a crapton of hp) fight, sure - we might measure up. But it's definitely not sustained.
And as has been mentioned, an AoEing wizard is usually a soon-to-be-dead wizard unless you have chanters hard at work stunning the whole group. Esp because our level 53 PBAoE is a stun, so pulls even more aggro than merely nuking the mobs...
