OP here - thanks for all the replies and inisghts. My foray into a wizard is my first time playing as a caster and while I am enjoying it, it isn't as seamless as the Monk was and downtime can be a bit much (lvl 17 at the moment). I think once I get self ports it'll be easy to hop to ecommons for clarity/sow and then port somewhere. That's my hope anyway.
Good to hear that there is a chance of me participating in raids even if I'm not a hardcore gamer.

Yes. Don't get into the singular mentality of sustained dps because many groups cannot support constant pulls. Wizards can bring the heightened dps when it's needed and lay off (to recharge for the need for heightened dps) when the increased dps isn't needed. Cast between mana ticks to increase mana regen. Bad pull going to cause a wipe then evac the group out safely. Need snare to prevent trains and wipes, wiz have that covered as well. Top raid dps in classic and Kunark - check. Velious not sure but Luclin and beyond again yes.
I generally keep my mana bar around 70m and burn it down when needed. For example, if the cleric burns their mana to oom healing then that's a time you should be near oom as well because you brought extra dps when needed.
