I'm actually playing my first Wizard Slayer right now, and frankly it's been more difficult than a normal Fighter. The Spell Disruption on hits is nice, but by the time you've hit a spellcaster 3 or 4 times, he's going to be dead very soon anyway. And the Magic Resistance is only half of what I thought it would be; I thought it was 2% per level, and after Level 25 it goes up to 3% per level. Instead, here I am at Level 14, with 14% Magic Resistance--while by this time, a normal Fighter could have had 20%, just from jewelry that I can't wear.

Wizard Slayers actually can wear Boots. They can wear Helmets, Ioun Stones, Armor, Weapons, Shields, Boots, and unenchanted jewelry. They may not wear magical jewelry, Bracers/Gauntlets/Gloves, Cloaks, or Belts. They may use Healing Potions, Antidotes, Elixirs of Health, Restoration scrolls, Protection scrolls (the green ones), and the Rod of Resurrection. (I haven't tested the Rod of Reversal or the Rod of Lordly Might.)

My biggest pain is no Ring of Regeneration. My best Tank had to spend 24 hours of game time as an archer because he had only 12 hitpoints left, and Jaheira & Aerie were out of spells. But that will change: Now that I've just finished my mad rush to get Imoen back, my next target is the Windspear Hills--specifically, a Regeneration item that I can use.

I think Wizard Slayers are worse off than straight Fighters not because of their Kit drawbacks, but because there aren't any great Wizard Slayer items. Their hallmark is their Magic Resistance: So why do they have worse MR than Monks, or Paladins, or anybody wearing the Ring of Gaxx or Kaligun's Amulet?
