Unfortunately, an epic mage is still many orders of magnitude weaker than an enchanter in tunnel gear.

Yeah as another poster already pointed out, no other class is close to the power (many orders of magnitude) than an enchanter in tunnel gear.
Mages shine brightly in the dps role xp groups. Situationally they can do well enough in the dps department on raids where they can use their pet. Pet or otherwise they still have vital, though often unappreciated, roles to play on raids. The mage hate would be far less severe if we didn’t have a half dozen years of kunark followed by as many years locked into velious. 55 Mage alts are a dime a dozen, watering down the need severely for dedicated raid main mages.
If we had 6 months of kunark followed by 6 months of velious then on to kittens on the moon and then PoP … only the most dedicated players would be able to level up any character to maximum while raiding competitively … much less having even 1 other alt at a substantial level. In that case, any person who dedicated themselves to playing a critical class for raid success at a fast tempo of expansion release (cleric, necro, mage, warrior, rogue) would be much more appreciated.
I remember during Luclin on live most of our raid force being sub-60.
