A good 55+ mage does 80-120 sustained dps (pet + nukes) in groups on top of DS.
And ... as needed makes rods to keep the group rolling, summons useful clickies/items as needed, coths when needed, offtanks adds with pet when/if needed.
My mage is the toon on p99 that surprised me the most while running a parser. Anyone can parse pets but only the caster can parse nukes. Mages put down a lot of hurt in groups.
Send in your pet immediately and then blow stuff up. I like to keep 50% mana in reserve for strategic burns. While medding the pet still puts out 50-70 (or more with higher level pets) sustained dps.
