My experience is exactly the opposite: Hunters that want aggro get it, unless the mage goes into hyperdrive mode with Arcane Power. That said, the question is damage, and one has to factor pet damage into it as well, since the pet wouldn't be there without the hunter. Pets are not an inconsiderable source of additional damage.
As for fire resistance - it gets far more common late game. BRD's Fire elementals are just one example. I shudder to think of the Molten Core and how Fire spec mages are going to suffer.
And to keep this thread topical: What happens when a School of Fish gets into shallow water?
