Balance and Life both work really well as support. However, the main "supporting" spells you get from balance are from being a balance wizard itself. Such spells include: Availing Hands, Helping Hands, Bladestorm, Balanceblade, etc. If you're looking to be a support wizard, I would personally recommend being a balance wizard with Life mastery amulet, doing Life to Satyr and Ice to Tower Shield. Fortunately, with this build, you also have some soloing capability if you're into that.
Best of luck on your wizard!

Life and Balance are the two main support classes. Death comes in third after those.
Idk if I would call death a support class, unless you're talking PvP- then pretty much all conventions are out the window. We don't share the health we sap and I often find myself busy enough that I could never be someone else's crutch. I actually quite often see death as the tank of the group when there are no storms or fires in a PvE team. I have played support in PvP in 3v3 to spam debuffs, but that's about it.
I agree that I would do a Balance. Not only can you heal with some Balance spells, but you have Universal spells such as Hex, Balance Blade, and Bladestorm.
Life - can heal all and keep everyone living. Balance - can support with blades and shields of all sorts. Ice - can spam towers for days and be your tank in battles. Death - can provide weakness for days, and is a never dying tank because they tend to always get their health back.

Life and Balance are the support classes of W101.
Death is definitely a support class in PvE and PvP.
Feint and Curse are stackable (basically Death is the trap version of Balance). You can also stack Death Pact on everyone else...but yourself. Additionally, stacking debuffs like plague/virulent/juju/winged, cripples the enemy for your team in PvE and PvP. You can also heal as well as a Balance with the Death spell "Sacrifice" (in some cases...better). You can also off tank if an Ice Wizard isn't around.
Trust me, Death is a support class if played correctly.
