Fellow wizards, how to remain an asset in groups?

Wasn't the Wiz/Bard duo dependent on low HP kiting to be effective? (i.e. Bard agros huge swarm while low HP to keep full agro, runs mobs through Wiz while he PBAOEs). As far as I know this was supposed to have been nerfed.

Is there some other method that is equally as effective? Or does that still work the same way?

I'm not sure if this is equivalent, but a guild bard PL'd me for a couple levels by just grabbing a zone of mobs and running them in a tight circle around me, while I PBAoE'd the mobs. Seemed to work fine, other than my running out of mana. I would do something similar with a bard of my level, only we'd be talking three or four mobs, not three hundred.

Not sure if this would work, but I'm anxious to give it a try.

This. No need for low HP kiting.

Just ae snare/slow for aggro and unleash hell.

The most memorable doing this was with Kets (hello #1 bard on server by such a huge margin its not funny). AE'ing all of KC basement, IN verix's room, 2man. Just amazing.
