Having both a level 140 FA and level 140 WI now I can sort of see why the OP made this post. WI do have it pretty lame when it comes to SP. Our DPS is pretty zzz without BM2 (without mega ultra epic gear).
FA almost gets a free bar of every SP every 5 minutes with AoS. It's not a true bm2 obviously but in some places AoS is basically just as good as SP. For example the flesh golems in EoD, an equally geared FA vs WI at the same level will result in both classes killing them in about the same amount of time, but the FA does not have to use SP. It's essentially 2-3 free bars of SP in a dungeon like EoD without having to depend on a party member. You could argue and say it's more than 3 because during the duration of the AoS you will probably be auto attacking to regen SP too.
I felt like I could BM2 a lot with the FA there but with the WI I cannot because I find myself having to either combo or run out of SP if I want to keep running the place non-stop.
Edit:
I don't think the WI needs a self SP buff though. It would be cool but really, perma solo BM2 would be the most ridiculous thing imaginable. I would rather they modify the BM2 in such a way that the mobility during BM2 increases. It's very clunky to move around during BM2 as a WI because it takes so long to re-casting your skills. Perhaps something like:
"If BM2 attack animation has not started, the first 2 skills are insta cast spells", but then apply a 3.9 second cooldown to this effect so you couldn't just keep spam clicking the floor and re-applying instant cast spells.

lol, im sure if all classes could cast 2 skills at once in bm2 then we would all rock, its hard to find a wizard that is competent enuf to know how to play there class the right way, many of them are trash, hence why i say most of the time there only in dungeon parties for the sp buff
