Heh, I was going to bring up the mana and itemization, but you beat me to it.
Also, you still need 4 mages for Domo, no matter how popular Druids get. /cough cough... popular druids. If I had known how easy it would be to get epics as a druid, I would have stuck with it. Reading beta reports, it was the class that appealed to me most. I think it was ghost wolf that made my shaman that much more enjoyable. I don't know if there are any sheep heavy encounters in BWL or planned for Sithilus.
Also also, mages have been hurt a little by the fact that the first two (and a half) 40 man raids have been very big on fire resist. When places come out that don't involve fire elemental gods or fire breathing dragons, fire spec might look a little better. Of course, the aggro might be a problem.
