You will be a good addition no matter what class you are.
As far as social norms you can pretty much do whatever you want. If you want to have an easy road leveling up just be friendly to people. It seems like most people leveling up 1-50 don't really attack anyone unless they are an alt pvp char. Kind of sad but it is what it is. Everyone just groups and levels up in dungeon zones. Seems like there is more pvp if you come across people in other zones though.
Once you hit 50+ it is pretty much KoS to anyone not in your guild.
In group PvP as a mage you can be pretty valuable depending on the type of PvP. Send in pet from far away, use CoH on crucial members of group if they are being targeted and low on health, debuff. Any class can be useful if they are at least dispelling. You will find something useful to do.
