Yes, Caster Wind Serpents aren't as good. To avoid them make sure that the wind serpent does not have a mana bar under its hp bar when you tame it! It can also be noted that almost all GREEN and BLACK (dark blue?) wind serpents have the "good" stats. It should also be noted that WHITE Wind Serpents should be avoided until level 41 when you can tame Hayoc.
If you want a different color than Black or Green, you may need to be more careful, but sites like http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/ do list where you can find good windserpents. For a good early level red windserpent I would recommend Washte Pawne, a rare level 25 spawn in the barrens. If you like GOLD wind serpents, you must either tame a Deviate Coiler from Wailing Caverns or wait until level 48 and tame one in the Sunken Temple.... because the rest have CASTER STATS.
Perhaps the most unique of wind serpents are the Son of Hakkar (who used to change color each time you summon him, not sure if he still does), and the Spawn of Hakkar, who has a very nice red skin that is unique to him and Azzer the Skyblade (Azzer has caster stats). Anyways, the Spawn of Hakkar is in the ST, and Son of Hakkar is in ZG. I want to tame the Son soon and see if he still changes color.
My current windserpent is a Black/darkblue Deviate Dreadfang from WC. I was level 20 when I tamed her. Awesome pet, IMO, and Lightning breath has proved more useful than I would have thought in PvP.
