Wizard dps vs melee in groups?

[Atmas]

Wizards are pretty bad sustained damage. They can still be useful in groups though because of their utility.

If you plan to do a lot of soloing or don't want to wait for groups a wizard can be a nice pick, you can go where you want and get to killing no time wasted. You will have a lot of down time though, but you can potentially use that for real life stuff.

In the end game they can lay down the DPS for raid bosses.
