What's the deal with mages?

I don’t think it’s that mages are lazy, it’s that they can do a large amount of lazy dps which I think is a good thing.

Rogues are way lazier. Much more likely to burnout and just stop caring about positioning/backstab. Takes a lot less apm to do just pet attack and click staff/boots on a mage vs constantly repositioning on a rogue.

I don't think I have ever had that my problem on my Rogue. Getting to the back or side of an NPC so you can backstab isn't that hard. I'd even argue that playing a rogue is easier than playing a mage. Mage you have to constantly watch your pet or he could accidentally aggro a whole room full of mobs.
