Full six man xp groups at higher levels (like 47+) are all about keeping pulls coming as close to constantly as possible, in every era. Wiz may be fine in lower level groups but eventually the mechanics catch up to you. Wizards can't sustain dps without downtime, and downtime kills the flow of a full xp group. Melee and pets beat wizards at sustained dps exponentially, and druids can evac while also offering heals and a multitude more other utility options than a wizard.

This isn't like the "rangers suck" stereotype which was proven to be wrong. Wizards are simply the most inefficient class for a higher level six man group, bar none and its not even close.
