I wanted to point out to the OP that a wizard's inferior DPS can be offset by other options they bring to a group.

Most problem scenarios occur in the pulling phase or the crowd controlling phase. If something should go wrong such as unexpected adds or a series of unfortunate mez resists, a Wizard has some options to save the group that other DPS roles don't have.

All those talking about how Wizards are useful because of their escape capabilities, remember that when you have a Wizard in your group, you are relatively understrength and may need that capability more often, leading to a self-serving prophecy.
tldr: Got a Wizard? Then you'll be needing that Evac. lol
