Full casters in general, and wizards in particular, have the potential at higher level of "molding the game". It's what makes running high level games challenging. It's not about doing more damage, or better control of the battlefield. It's the capacity to manipulate events.
This makes them very difficult to balance properly, because the "value" of that capacity is tremendously table dependent.
