Maybe asking directly to the Devs as a group what their class envisioning is for magicians at this point in the game from a raiding point of view.

expressing your point of view when starting from a position of strength could be benificial.
Historically other casters have had one or more expansions where they were the uncontested DPS leaders in all of EQ -- Period.
When looking at the Wizard -- Mage -- Necro triangle it is certainly true for Wizards and Necros.
Now SoE has decided to give rangers the top spot, while BER's and Rogues have been there too.
Paladins have even been elevated in the DPS standings to a point while not being overall DPS leaders, are doing respectable DPS for a non-DPS class.
Why not state the opinion that from a standpoint of fairness, Macigians should be givent he top DPS spot in the next expansion and let the DEV's tell you why not.
Start asking to be #1 rather than asking to be #6 or letting them tell you right off the bat that we should ne okay with 2nd teir DPS.
My opinion,
