It has nothing to do with you personally but it's a dangerous and infuriating bit of Misinformation that has persisted more and more frequently ever since some cockhat decided it would be healthy RP to limit/restrict evils in Tribunal. It is therefore frustrating to be heard repeated.
When it comes to the Outlander problem, conjurers are the hammer to that particular batch of nails, they have tools and brute force capable of countering the entire cabal to varying degrees (and sunwardens can't attack your archons directly until you get to the primeval spirit). They are also easier to play than Invokers and require no real wand hunting effort and have effective tools to augment becoming Justiciar or Vindicator.
In spite of all this, they aren't played because Outlander and thief guilds might try to tattle on them like kindegardeners or no one properly preps for Ranger snares.
There needs to be more conjurers. They can almost singlehandedly win the Outlander wars with the same capability as a lich army with half the weaknesses and a fraction of the work. The 'my class abilities might get me kicked out of the cabal' myth needs to die a horrible death.
Add in a single defensive shifter or competent muter and conjurers serve as excellent self healing tanks with godlike amounts of damage per second. Even an Invoker that can handily defend against a lone conjurer has trouble defending against a conjurer that has even one remotely competent cabal are helping him raid.
Also haste is 20k gold per single charge in a protected city at level 45 up when using the talismans skill, and decked conjurers are somewhat capable of soloing for other haste talismans for use on not only their servitors but cabal mates as well. With enough money in the bank, even if you die you have permanent access to haste and the best/most consistently available uptime damage reduction in the game just for power ranking. Your only real weakness is crap melee and your capacity to learn from your own mistakes.
