Wizards have the least caster DPS?

[DisbeAsos]

Every fight is very different. I can out DPS most of those classes in probably 1/3rd of the current raid targets. Its all very specific but in general and certainly in solo and group settings that would be about the proper order for DPS.

What most people dont realize about a Wizard is all of the utility. Burst DPS is where a lot of our value is. I will root CC better than anyone else (thats a player skill mainly), i can AE snare and kite mobs on a bad overpull, i can rune tank in an emergency and with BW 200 im a good downtime healer. I can make a bad pull of 3+ mobs turn good by root CCing and dropping 1 or 2 mobs very quick. As a Wizard i never let mana get below 30-40 and usually try to keep it at 40-50 so i can burst DPS mobs down quick on a bad pull. Dont forget about Evac when youre deep in a dungeon too. Once i have my Epic and can use Manastone and/or Mannarobe i can sustain DPS with the best of them.
