From having a mage and a necro both at level 53, I can say xp is still faster solo so grouping is only a must when you get bored talking to yourself or want to explore some new places unsafe for a solo traveler.
Both classes solo really well although the only oh shit button a mage has is gate (mind you, your pet can usually tank two mobs at once, you have to be careful how you manage it and require some space (not great indoor) but it's doable) where a necro has many.
On the necro (mine is iksar and if it was to be redone, I would go iksar again but would dump all my point in int then strength strength then int). With no faction work, I never had any issue finding a seller not far away. Worst case scenario if you are near a newbie town, you can create an alt of the faction, drop the stuff to sell in bags in a remote and safe area or recruit a newbie to do the dirty work for you. Definitely a non issue.
Regarding the necro race, I would go iksar as the regen, especially at high level, is very good. However, you won't gimp yourself by going any other race, you will just have to use your drain life dot a wee bit more often. I just like the regen for when shit has hit the fan and I've FD with low hp which tends to happen a lot when you play like a berserker and try crazy stuff regularly.

Very helpful! Thank you. I think I'm gonna roll a dark elf necro to try as well as keep playing my high elf mage and see who wins out long term. Good plan on the alts to sell for you.
Both seem fun and my playstyle so I guess the only way to know is to try both.
