At 17 I can't see how you think magicians are far weaker than necros. At
that level their DD spell is almost as damaging as a wizard's, and their
pets have made a big leap in strength. If the magician was level 12-15 I can
understand it. Those are "lag levels" for magician's DD spells - they don't
get a new one. Also, since the magician's pets got spells I think they
actually have a slight edge over necro pets. The spells all seem to do
slight damage, and they cast them constantly in addition to their normal
attacks. Throw on a fire shield (or a burnout, depending on the
circumstance) and the magician's pets are great.

Regardless, he did say that the problem was after level 30. Since you
presumably don't group with 30+'s at your level, I'm not sure how you can
comment on his complaints. Not saying he's right, but we'd need another 30+
necromancer to really get some good feedback.
