ItemInsidious Dreams is an up-to-26% damage mod, but only for Magic-based nukes (not mentioned by Alla's). The focus effect is thus useless for Shamans and Druids and Necromancers, who don't have a MR nuke line.
Looking at other classes, you have to consider where these fall, and the options. Clerics will infintely prefer the Manaskin plate-class boots, thus eliminating all the priest casters from real contention for these.
Given Magicians' predeliction for FR nukes (way better than the mr line, esp with Ancient:Shock of Sun), and Wizard general preference for Cold, and wide choices regardless, these shoes become all but exclusively for Enchanters. The name makes sense, the stats make sense, all is right with the world. My guess is that the other six classes were added to the item just so that they wouldn't rot once you get enough for all your chanters.

Druids do get a MR line, the anti-summoned line. As a matter of fact the last upgrade to that line is at 65, and it is the best nuke we get if fighting summoned mobs. Since the release of LDoN, I've been fighting summoned mobs a lot. As a result I got to this page because I was looking for magic-nuke damage increaser items that my druid could wear. Currently I have mana preservation in my foot slot (ornate) but if I could move that to a different slot, I would be quite happy to own these shoes.

Sorry, but Wizards use magic nukes just as much as cold. Fire gets used the most and magic runs neck and neck with cold, depending on the situation. Some Wizards may say magic is used MORE than cold, but for me its about the same. Wishful thinking to influence the awarding of the boots, perhaps? Since I got cold focus and fire, this would fit in nicely, thnx...

Actualy necromancers use magic based nukes alot. All of thier DD Life taps are magic based. With touch of Mujaki it would help them a bit to hit for over 1K on a 3 second cast life tap.
Necros before PoP always had to use life taps for DD's, now they can use life taps or Neurotoxin (posion based), so this still effects half of a necromancers DD's.

You're mostly correct. Most of a necro's lifetaps are magic based, with the exception of Gangrenous Touch of Zum'uul (disease based). This will also affect a necro's undead nukes.

*cough*
Ancient:Destruction of Ice is available if you're raiding where these boots drop. Garrison's Superior Sundering is also better than EER, and fire based. It's kinda silly how selective your post-60 list is, too.
The point is, while Insidious Dreams would have plenty of utility to wizards, it only affects a third of their (your) spells. There are other damage foci in Vex Thall without the MR restriction, that would boost ALL their damage. Enchanters would only benefit from a third of that effect's potential. So, awarding this loot to a wizard would neccessitate awarding two more, just for their focus effects and not other stats or effects, and taking those items from others that would benefit.
By the way, the "extremely hard to get" best nuke? It drops from Emperor, no? Who has to die to get you to where these shoes drop? Yeah...
