Firstly, I would suggest making mages and psionics a d6 HD, and ninjas a d8. d4 characters are /way/ too squishy.

Another idea I had formy own Wiz-conversion was using the various XP progressions from Pathfinder for the PCs. Fighters and Rogues ( the purely physical classes) would use the fast progression. Psionics, priest, alchemists, mages, bards, and Gadgeteers (the purely mental classes) would use the medium progression. Finally Valkyries, Lords, samurai, Rangers, bishops, ninja, and monks, (the hybrid classes), would use the slowest progression. This will offer you the staggered level gain system you see in the PC games.
