I agree with all but the last part quoted above. Rogues are much better DPS than a mage. Also, I dare say in classic... or at least on this server monks are probably the most OP for 4 reasons:

Their DPS is not mana dependent.
Their DPS is not quite so directionally dependent (compared to a rogue).
They have a panic button (get out of death free card).
They can actually solo for EXP (under optimal conditions).
Monks are definitely a phenomenal class with amazing dps. Really any well played monk/rog/mage is gonna fill that DPS spot well.

Just to qualify my statement above, I am in the mid 30s here so perhaps the gap widens at 50 but from what I have seen I've never torn apart more mobs in a chain pulling group than when I had 2 mages as dps (done 1 mage / 1 monk, 1 rog / 1 monk, 2 monks, iirc). Have a semi permanent group of SK/cleric/ench/druid so we just pick 2 dps and go with it.
