Further more, like, 20 wizards can rend Lady Vox within 18.9 seconds.

You're entirely ignoring the resists of boss mobs. If you want to do those calculations you need to do them with lures and dragon/giant bane, which don't even exist on green.

No one is landing rend or ice comet on vox.

This, but also people forget rogues can evade, your dps is limited to how much aggro your tank have, while rogue can mostly do their max dps no matter what.

The best tanks in classic are paladins chain stunning while wizards nuke. Kunark warriors finally get weapons with proc that keep up if they max dex an haste. There some warrior weapons wizards can chain nuke an never get agro. It's all about equipment, an if your raiding, they better have the best equipment for MA. The best of course is the SoD out Velious. This is a classic example of MA gear directly affecting the outcome of a raid, which a large portion of the population still does not get, or see, ever.
Wizards are trash for the most part, I would say dont bother with one if you don't plan on getting a mana stone or mana robe and the epic weapon. Preferably all three, then that burst DPS becomes sustained DPS. Higher level your draught spells cast fast (3secs) enough you can alternate between mana robe casts (3secs) and damage draught spells an still get your naturally sitting med, just like shaman canny dancing.

I've landed Ice Comet on Vox on live. But no, you would want to use Conflagration on Vox, fire based. 625 dmg, 8 casts a min, 5k dmg per min.
Rend doesn't land on shit, or I should say, on live it doesn't. This server, it's probably the best spell in the game.
Resists are less for wizards then any others, plus when you die your mana gets completely restored and your agro is wiped. So dying is actually preferred at times, as you can instantly med spells an start casting again if needed. Can't remember if classic had bind restrictions around its raid mobs.

I'm not sure dps calculations are done in damage per minute. With no fizzles Conflaguration is over 110 dps.
