How bad are mages solo in level-appropriate dungeons?

[zelld52]

Mage is one of the few classes I've never played.

I've done Necro solo to 60, strictly charming 40-60. I've done Enc solo to 58, strictly charming 29ish - 58.

Have done both of these classes solo in challenging places, ie: dungeons. Enchanter obviously had a much broader range of viable dungeons - but the Necro was really efficient in certain places.

I know Mage won't stack up to either of these two, but I got the hankering to play a mage. Don't plan on pushing all the way to 60 (Unless I fall in love), but would like to log in for a few hours per week when I can squeeze time in to play.

Can mage do appropriate level dungeons without waiting 5 mins between fights? I wouldn't mind burning a mana bar over 10 minutes and AFK for 5-10..

Not gonna get a manastone or anything, but maybe some other HP regen items and a FT1. Would that matter? Or not really?

What do ya'll think, can a mage log in for 30 minutes, burn a mana bar killing consitently in a dungeon for 20 mins then afk for 5-10 while medding bck to full before logging again?
