1) They added Sleep - then realized it was too strong and changed it to Polymorph.
2) They gave talents. One word: Pyroblast! :)
3) They increased the damage of mage spells.
4) They increased the progression of conjured water/mana, thus decreasing downtime.
5) They introduced the PvP server with almost no means for other classes to detect Mage invisibility except for potions and Warlocks, so huge ganking ensued.
6) They massively increased the effect of spirit giving mana regeneration increases.
7) They made Mana Shield more effective, giving better defense to mages.
Mages were the least-played class in Phase 1, now they're second-most (after Warriors). Kinda ruined my fun playing the class when everyone else is :)
