If we assume all characters are 55+, a Wizard with C2 will get 32 mana/tick. If we assume they are using Draught of Ice 731 damage/215 mana, that works out to 110 damage/tick or 18 dps. An epic rogue (and there is no other kind on this server) with enchanter haste on the other hand will put out maybe 75-100 dps in a single fight; a Monk 50-80, a Warrior 35-50 or so, a Paladin or SK 20-35, and even a Bard is usually good for 15-20.
So if the group is fighting 60%-70% of the time, a wizard is about on par with a Paladin or SK for dps and well below any pure melee.
