Why aren't wizards desired for groups? Not enough utility to go with the dps?

The fact that their sustained DPS is inferior to most other DPS classes, even mages. Welcome to the world where min-maxing meets Everquest.

That. It's okay - I still love playing my wizard. I just know the numbers tell me i'm clearly not as much of a contributor to a nuclear group that a rogue would be - not that wiz snare and my 5 billion stuns aren't a lot of help, in addition to dropping caster/healer mobs in split seconds - but if you just need misc DPS (which is usually the case if a wizard is even a choice), it's typically better to go rogue/mage/necro/etc.
I'd say other than frontloading our damage quickly, our best strength is stunning the garbage out of single mobs. It's definitely not efficient and its debatable whether the wizard is just better off nuking than chain stunning, but it might keep a tank alive.
Root-park? Sure, we can do that fine (and have a few really long-lasting roots), but there are way better classes for it that you'll probably already have (enchanter, shaman, druid) don't need to use peridots to prevent getting owned and needing heals.
