I personally think mages are very valuable to raids. I play a warlock and I can tell you that I can do high damage, but it's "spikey". The damage my mage (also 60) does is quite a bit more consistent. This might be a gear thing though, I'm not sure. So, mages put out consistent, high damage and let's not forget remove curse, which is huge.

This is a nice pick-me-up, Bell, but the truth is your spikey damage averages out to two or three times a mage's damage. You can't discount your spikes because they happen with frightening regularity. Mage damage is consistent, but the more you raid, the more you realize that it's consistently low.
Anyway, I don't intend to detour this thread into another "mages suck" thread. I'll chime in with the end-game raiding section of my revised guide (which I'm about 65% of the way through revising) once I've had the opportunity to clean it up and polish it a little. Mages are weak, but there are things we can do to maximize our limited usefulness.
