From 1 up to somewhere around 20-30: bard and ench are the best PL for an at-least-somewhat-twinked wizard up to somewhere between 20-30. I'm not sure exactly how high level of mobs can be tanked in large numbers when this method would stop working well without some... creativity.
30+: A SK or a necro would be best.
A 49+ mage or a well-geared monk could probably do very well too, though, so long as you fight stuff that is near the wizard's level so that he can finish off the 5-10% mobs with 1 nuke. I mean, if you think about a level 34 wizard killing spectres (just an example) with a mage/monk, he can nuke for 320 for only 160 mana, and specs only have under 2k hp. You can med 160 mana, without c or anything, in about a minute. A level 30-40 wiz killing a level 33-37 mob every minute nonstop is going to be a damn solid PL. If you could get a clarity or work out some AE kill or use a smaller nuke on mobs that the monk/mage gets down under 5%, it'd only get better.
