I'm not sure where you are trying to go with this, but enchanters are way more resisted nuke-wise even with tash. A lot of wizard nukes have less resist checking than any other class. You can pull out fire, ice, magic, and stuns for the situation.
Plus we get PB-AoE spells that are out of this world, Supernova basically allows me to run through the entire sarnak fortress, pulling as many as I can with my Staff of Temperate Flux, then hit them with supernova, i.e. Bracer of the Hidden.
Quad spells are pretty awe-inspiring as well. They are fast casting as hell, and have a nearly 10/1 :: damage/mana ratio.
I almost never group, only to raid.

My point is that wizards are terrible in normal xp groups. If you replace a 60 wizard on blue with a 60 magician, necromancer, or enchanter, that group will get better - regardless of the number, level, and classes of the other members. If my group was Enc/Enc/Enc/Enc/Enc, I would still rather have a 6th enchanter than another wizard

Now don't get me wrong, the Wizard class is far from bad. They can level up easily with quad kiting/pbaoe groups. They are fantastic at blowing up raid bosses. They are fantastic at mobilization.
But whenever you are consistently casting single target nukes as a wizard, you are being extremely ineffective compared to just about anything else.
