People complain that mages aren't the damage-dealers the players thought they'd be.  Then once they are, people say it's too much.

Mages right now are at two broad, broad spectrums.

Those that have Arcane Power, ZHC, ToHP can pretty much gaurantee a kill when their cooldowns are ready. Gauranteeing a kill isn't exactly balanced. Physical damage is jumping faster than mitigation, and this is a problem too. But Blizzard's solution seemed to be to give casters either still too little damage (well, too little compared to physical damage) or, when the cooldowns are ready, "IWIN" buttons.

Blizzard did this at the same time they were getting rid of things like negative resists to help smooth out damage. The item designers apparantly didn't talk to the class designers at all.

Nerf Mages? No, stop killing the game through itemization.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
