There aren't many mages because
- Being a raiding mage is arguably even worse than being an enchanter
- Interesting groups don't want a mage because most mages are noobs, lack good pet control, and will wipe the group out / break mez / ninja afk to beat off to goblin pron
- a mage's solo abilities hit a pretty solid ceiling post 50, especially in dungeons, and that's where most cool spots are
- getting epic on blue without being an autist is nearly impossible
But it is a great newbie class since you can always dash for the zone line if your pet is low and the fight seems lost.
