How much more discussion can there be about Wizards not doing well in groups pulling one at a time?
Complaining about Wizard sustained DPS is like complaining about Rogue healing ablities. The class was designed to be good at some aspects and balanced by not being good at other aspects.

Illegitimate comparison. Yeah, Wizards aren't supposed to be sustained DPS, but they are supposed to be burst DPS. The problem is that they can't actually kill a target quickly at the higher levels.
Your "groups who pull one at a time" statement rings pretty clueless from my vantage point. AoE groups simply are not viable for most of the higher end content. People don't just pull one at a time anyway, multiples are often pulled and the solution is to use MEZMERIZE. Even if the Wizard was better at their intended game purpose, it wouldn't change the way people do combat at the higher levels with the way EQ is currently setup. It would simply make the Wizard more competitive for the 5th and 6th slots in a group, after the necessary base of "Tank, DPS, Enchanter/Bard, (C)Healer" have been achieved.
