Honestly, I think wizards are more accepted than ever on p99. Odds are you are inclined towards soloing anyway, but if you play your class well and have a good attitude, you'll end up making friends in your level range who will always group with you - and that's the best strategy for anyone, even a group dependent rogue, war, cleric...
While having a grouper alt is a good idea, I highly encourage you to continue on the path you're called to. If you get to the end game and raid, your wizard may end up Legend status like a friend of mine who is capable of soloing stuff that only necros are capable of.
If you don't, you'll have a toon you love that can port yourself and your friends, and has decent outdoor solo potential.
Don't let the haters get you down. Use your roots and snares and backup cc, use your stun to stop those pesky casters, and most of all - be ready with evac!
