What's wrong with Wizards?

[Combo]

Did a search and really couldn't come up with a thread that properly answered this, so...

What's wrong with Wizards? I remember way more being on Live than I see here, and I keep seeing them get trashed on these forums (not to a Ranger degree, but still).

I know Mages are kings of everything in Classic, but don't lures become pretty important in order to reliably deal magic damage post-Classic? Is it because of the notorious AFK Wiztard legend? Or is it because the class is just boring/pointless to play, as other classes (Mage, Necro) just do their job "better" than Wizards?
