mages are unfortunately pretty weak. They are squishies as i like to call them, 1 or 2 hits and dead.

They used to be gods of beta, when they had the invisiblity spell. But a lot of changes hurt them, the 5 sec mana regen after casting rule sucks.
the problem i had with mages was the downtime... sooo much downtime after every battle. They can do good damage, but snap like a twig and always have to drink water to get mana back. So slow.

If you are making a new char i would suggest Rogue or hunter. Druids are rather weak atm and should be getting some fixes in a century or two, same with warlocks. Well warlocks are powerful just hard.

rogues are great and a lot of fun (my alt is a rogue and its a blast). I love stealthing and pick pocketing and then ambushing.
Hunters do good damage and you have your pet to tank for you. I was just not into the whole pet thing, their AI is a bit quirky at times, same with warlock.
