Terenas early instance group forming

1. Being silenced. 
Is this avoided for a mage much the same way aggro is avoided? Does it relate in part to physical proximity?

Hopefully your priest is on the ball and will dispel that for you (if the priest isn't silenced too). Since you're lucky enough to be Horde, always make sure your shaman drops a grounding totem if you are fighting mobs that silence people. It's got a fairly large range; just make sure you stay in range of it.

Sometimes it is physical proximity. The stinking harpies in Screeching Canyon (or Gorge or whatever it's called in Thousand Needles) cast AoE silences, but if my casters are far enough away from the tank they usually don't get hit with being silenced.
