It can still be an issue, depending on what the wizzy is casting and how fast the mobs are dropping.

Oddly enough, your stuns may be more beneficial in a group setting than your sunstrike/draught line of nukes. If it takes 20 seconds to drop a mob, having it stunned for nearly half of that time is better than putting out 1k damage. It eases up on the heals and mana/aggro of your other group members significantly.

Yes, wizards are gimped. They solo the worst of all int casters and offer the least to a group. It's hard to get groups, it's rough quadding/soloing to 60. In a raid setting, though, they're a critical asset.
