My mage is more powerful than my wizard. The wizard can damage till their mana bar is empty, then at their best with regular mana regen 21, you get 210 mana per min, they can cast one DD for 730 dmg a minute. Their only purpose is DPS and they get 730 per min at 60th level after they pump maybe 8k dmg. Who is the worst? In high level groups where mobs consistently have 5k-12k hps, the wizard is the biggest drag on a group. At least Ranger, Rogue, mage, paladin can average better than 730 dmg per min, plus have other utility on top of that. And that wizard damage could be resisted making damage even worse. Druids get better mana regen with PotG so even they can average more damage, plus have all the utility of powerful buffs to add and assists significantly to infinite melee damage that is only a complete heal away.

All of these words and all you had to do was say "I've never raided competitively so I don't understand." Mages aren't much more than coth bots at level 55+, hope this helps.
Ever seen 6+ wizards kite all of Vulak's guards? How does your guild train around nToV without TL boxes? Did you know VP dragons only have 32k hp? And of course....Porlos power!
The answer to the original question is still SK. Mages coth (essential), paladoods bring DS / soulfires (way underrated in this thread), and rangers can speedbump / cotp.
