Pssh with PoTG, crack, a manarobe, and an epic. Plus the great mana efficiency of the bane spells Wizards were top DPS only behind monks(if they were good wizards).
Hmm let's see. PoTG is 6 mana/tick, C2 is 11, epic is 3, we'll assume FT 3. So total that's 23. The wizard casts the epic (15 seconds) then does sit/mana robe dancing for 13 ticks then casts two bane spells (15 seconds).

So we have 5 ticks of 23 while casting and 13 ticks of 23+21+20 = 64 for a total mana gain of 947 and an output of 800. We'll ignore the 1/3 of a bane spell for now, so 947*5 = 4735 damage every 18 ticks, which averages out to 43 dps sustained. Which is really not bad but definitely behind all pure melee. Of course the wizard also has ~15k damage from his initial manapool. If we assume a 15 minute fight, that's another 16 dps bringing the total to about 60, which is definitely behind rogues and monks, probably about the same as warriors or rangers, but ahead of everyone else. Unless I made a math error somewhere.
