I use a pure Necromancer and a Bard for all my arcane needs. They are not really that weak in the beginning. I admit that they have very little spell slots at the start, but they can still rely on Slings until they gain higher levels. Chromatic Orb is invaluable at the start, aiding your party by disabling the enemy.

Once you start accessing stuff that increase your spell slots though( Ring of Wizardry anyone?), you will start finding it hard to run out of spells before the battle is over. I am assuming that you rest after each battle though, otherwise yes, you will still run out of spells after 3-4 battles.

My Necromancer uses a Dagger at high levels because there is a Dagger that increases your number of spell slots. Not that he enters melee, because I always keep him at the back.
