What do mages really have going for them?

Mage DD is only marginally worse than wizards. What you essentially have it the second best DPs class for sometime, only behind a charming enchanter -- which is far more taxing on healer mana and on the player themselves having to consonantly keep focus on the charm between doing other things.

Long term you will get CoH and mod rods. That's offering more than 80-90% of the other classes.

How valuable is CotH? I quit before Kunark on live.

I did see some chart once showing mod rods exponentially increasing the mana pool of a raid, so that’s something I guess.
