I think wizards are undervalued in groups. Especially if fights go messy, nothing better than having a wizard who can burn through his mana to quickly take out 1 or 2 mobs.

Wizards are incapable of doing this at the higher levels. MOBs have ridiculous amounts of HP and higher resists. The best you can hope for with a Wizard is to get a clicky item from Veeshan's Peak or Velketor, and then do a steady stream of DPS just like any melee character. Except that your DPS will be lower than a Rogue or Monk. Trying to use a bunch of quick nukes chained together will only draw aggro onto you. PvE Everquest is very poorly balanced for Wizards (and Velious era PvP isn't good for them either...).

I struggle to see how being just a worse enchanter is any sort of argument as to why wizards are undervalued in groups.

You're correct. The stun line is not reliable at the higher levels, so Wizards can't even really use that from their supposed toolkit. Comparing anything to an Enchanter is usually unfair because Enchanters are just the best, but yeah Wizards are very much near the bottom in terms of PvE group value. THE worst in the game if they don't have one of those rare clickies, IMO.
