1.) The epic is basically unattainable for most people because of the Earth staff. I almost had my Wiz epic back in the day, and I also had a Rogue and Paladin with their epics. I don't mind doing the work for an epic, but if it's something that pretty much isn't going to happen, that's a huge bummer. I'll never be a gigantic raider that plays for years and attends every single raid to be able to earn the DKP/guild credit and trust while also waiting in line for the drop, so it basically takes it off the table for me. I could let this go, but...

You will most likely never get the Earth staff. There are raiders who have been playing for years who still can't get one. They might have saved up all their DKP but then it's so rare, it drops when they aren't on that raid.

2.) Pet aggro dumping upon death is busted. This is a nail in the coffin for the class for me, especially since it seems like its been months now without the problem even being acknowledged. Does this not basically destroy a Mages ability to solo anything level appropriate at anything other than low levels?

Yes. It's really sad that level 60 mages have trouble killing camps that a level 45 enchanter could do.

I do plan on doing a lot of grouping, but I also really want to be able to dungeon dive and solo some camps at mid/high levels. Given the aggro problem, combined with the other concerns, should I just call it quits now and roll another class?

Sadly yes. Maybe you could powerlevel your mage with a real class if you still want one at some point. Mages are super weak in Velious, and it's fixed somewhat in Luclin and PoP, but of course those will never happen on this server.

Do the devs on here have a history of ignoring stuff for a while, not even acknowledging it and then out of nowhere patching it?

Yes they do. The p99 devs seem to have an aura of silence that leads you to believe they don't care about the server anymore. They just trickle out small but meaningless changes like restocking baker's muffins while ignoring major non-classic problems.
