Exactly what "utility" is supposedly needed, and where?
In actuality, all that's needed in most group scenarios is 1.) Damage, 2.) Heals/Mitigation, 3). Root
Again talking about the Kael example, you can't even Stun/Mez there. You have to Root everything, and the way to make it most dependable is with magic resist debuff. Which is something Mages have. An ability that also makes another OP game mechanic - Charming - more dependable. Contrary to your inanity, Mages have one of the most useful "utility" assists in the game. And as already discussed, using their pet to offtank an add is already something they can do that isn't just DPS.
