What classes benefit most from gear progression

I feel as if this is true in most cases. However I can't see the point of gearing a few classes past a certain point. Good example would be wizard. Once you have basic resist and HP gear (EC tunnel stuff), Epic, VP robe and staff, Pegi Cloak, Jboots and banespells then there's no point in getting anything else really. Maybe UB bracers from fear? But really, I'm reaching here. Manastone if you're feeling fancy but its incredibly niche and not a raid drop.

That's already a pretty long list for anyone who isn't hardcore dedicated, ESPECIALLY considering they can't farm for shit and they get picked last if at all for groups. And the main criticism about wizards is they don't have the sustained DPS most other class have due to DPS being mana based so the +mana gear and the health->mana xfer stuff gives more of exactly that.

I'm not saying they benefit the most but if you compare a BIS wizard vs one wearing mid tier stuff, there's a solid difference in lasting power, especially in smaller scale situations like grouping and the belief they don't need gear is a negative feedback loop.
