I enjoy raiding on a wiz, but I'm an altoholic and DKP is always in short supply. It's either spend it on the Wizard or one of the other classes I play. The others being Ranger, SK, Necro and shaman respectively.

I have access to Somebody Else's Nicely Geared Wizard. I agree it's a fun raid toon. He geared it with the clickies (except mana stone) and a big mana pool, but not a ton of +hp on it. It seems like a pretty good cost/effectiveness trade off. I don't know enough about wizards in vp though so that's a blind spot for me.
I think it makes sense to start out with the low hanging fruit on multiple characters, and by the time you get that sorted you may have a feel for whether you want to chase bis on one of them.
I don't reach for the wizard outside of raids. That doesn't mean it's wrong to bis a wizard -- I've seen guildmates happily chase bis on their favorite chars even if they aren't great solo/small scale classes -- but to me it would probably take some of the motivation out of it.

Does going bis on a bard scale well outside of raids?

It's no monk, but I don't regret gearing my bard concurrently with my enchanter.
My primary non-raid goal as I improve my bards gear has been solo challenges. Like busted suggested seb ABC/Disco/Crypt and similarly difficult mobs are in reach -- for example I killed Hiero toe-to-toe without mez or worts and I was hyped for that (got the cloak, probably the last upgrade I will be able to self solo on my bard).
I have done some solo farming on him too; did coldain skin boots/gloves for a while, a few ww dragons, and enough droga to faction a couple of my characters with the skins/salts.
I'm missing ring 10, regal band, and many stat pieces, but have arguably bis held items.
My enchanter *is* more widely useful in small scale stuff and has higher value solo options, but I'm not blocked by gear check on him and it's nice to have the bard available as a change of pace.
