Troxx is spot on about Mage DPS. Also factor in spamming a Burnt Wood Staff and that's even more sustained damage, along with your entire Mana bar worth of nuking reserve for burn potential if needed. Mage DPS is really, really good. But yeah, besides pure damage and CotH there really isn't much there. They're very niche in that regard. Mages honestly play more like a pure melee class than they do any of the other casters. No CC, very few tricks, just pure damage. Which is another reason the are great in a healer duo: the pet allows them to tank and DPS at the same time. Just throw in a Shaman or Cleric and let the good times roll.
