You are right, however for the scope of p1999, the best fix would be to recalculate dmg/mana ratios and put Wizards much higher than they are.
That only solves a player-made problem. Wizards are still highly effective at dropping that annoying healer before he can get a heal off. They are still highly effective at dropping a boss from 70% to 0% faster than the melee are going to kill him. Wizards are still highly effective at getting that crucial EVAC off deep in dungeon where CR would really suck. Players have decided that sustained DPS is better than burst, or the utility offered by a wizard. Game mechanics still exist the give preferential treatment to including a wizard in your party.

If they had higher dmg/mana ratios, then they would be even better at doing what they do: unloading a manabar on some poor boss mob.
