You get Scintillation PBAOE at 51, but it has a 6.5 recast time plus 3 second cast time. Meaning you drop one AE every 10 seconds or so versus wizards dropping 2-3 AEs in that same time period. Unless you add in Flame Arc (level 39), which isn't all that useful at 181 damage for 199 mana.
You aren't replacing a wizard as a DPS at 1-to-1, there will need to be another supplemental DPS class in or out of the xp group (druid/cleric/mage/wizard).
Groups will probably want you to be 55 for resists purposes.
If you really want to get into the AE group, start farming Droga for faction to be a puller and get 55 for Call of the Hero.
