Wizards are awesome and people who think they don't belong in groups are wrong. Their dps over time is indeed a tiny bit smaller than say a rogues...

Tiny bit?

Your bread and butter spell for damage will be draught of fire. 688 damage for 215 mana. I'll assume the wizard has specc'ed Evocation, so we'll knock 10% of the mana cost. 193.5 mana can be meditated back in 39 seconds, assuming you've got clarity. So you can do 688 damage in 39 seconds sustained. So your dps is 18 per second best case scenario. That is giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are casting in between med ticks.

Any rogues wanna help me out and give examples of what a rogue dps is? I suspect it's more than a tiny bit higher than 18 per second.

Wizards don't climb up the dps scale for groups till they get innate spell crits. Till that happened they are warriors dps wise,if you claim otherwise you are ignorant of the dps ladder.

They sure can burn mobs down in groups quick and save the day. Can also root,pull,snare,stun and evac.I love them in groups too. I've only met 2 wizards worth a damn on this server though.

Wizards are warriors for dps without c2 corrected
