Why no warrior/wizard hybrid?

The same role as any hybrid. You dont need a pally or sk in a group either, but they are still great classes to play.

I don't think the warrior/wizard hybrid would be the same thing as the sk or pally hybrid.

SK and Pally both trade some tanking ability for some utility (which in turn that utility actually helps tanking in some situations).

When you are in upper levels you don't need a level 16 wizard DPS spell, but a low level utility spell like snare, blind, heal, or stun can still be useful.

The efficiency would be so bad, especially with the amount of mana DPS spells take. Your warrior/wizard would hardly ever have med time and most of the time just be oom while tanking worse than a warrior.

If you wanted a warrior/wizard maybe you could have some self only casting spells that were procs for your weapon. The added procs could have some cool spell looking effects when they go off, and not force the warrior to actually be casting during fights. They wouldn't be the same spells as a wizard gets, but the procs could be similar to the low level wizard damage spells.

Really though a warrior that trades some tanking ability for more damage, is just a beserker.
