Wizards are not for everyone. Most people like to have less downtime and they play necromancer or shaman or the like. Even when soloing a single mob on a wizard, you will kill it faster than pretty much any other class and then have to sit down. It makes the game play seem slower, but in reality your exp over time will not be much different than that of a druid. You need to decide what you want your role to be in a group.
Nuking and sitting in a group is not all a wizard does if played right. Once in a while you find use for your AOEs if with the right types of players. You can help with crowd control by rooting. You can save the tank or healer with your stuns. You can save a group member by pulling aggro on purpose from an add mob and then use your stuns and nukes while not taking damage because you have your damage shield up.
I am still building my wizard up slowly here, but when I played years ago before I joined Project 1999, I used to joke about being an off-tank on my wizard. You will be thanked often by your group if you can play more dynamically, but it is still not for everyone.
