Tell me a group that's more powerful than 1 enchanter and 5 wizards. I challenge you.

Well you obviously baited me to answer this question... 1 enchanter and 5 mages!

I played the wizard quote a bit on live (more luclin->pop) and still had complaints when it came to grouping and generally leveling in content. I could not offer as much consistent damage as a mage but I did bring other utilities to the table (which have already been covered). A wizard will shine of they make use of these additional tools.
Will I take a mage over a wizard in a group situation? It really depends in my opinion. Am I going to be in an area which is fairly open and easy to escape if shit hits the fan? Sure bring the mage. Am I going to be going somewhere deep in a dungeon and very few groups are in the area? I might bring a wizard first.
However it is impossible to ignore the power that mages bring in the current era of the game. Pets throw out huge sums of dps and nukes are thrown in on top of it. Also the need of lure based nukes is less needed. The wizard is one class that evolved over time.
