I use the arrow keys to back them up instantly. I don't rely on follow for that.
Exactly!

I leveled two mages and rarely did I get hit and I hardly ever had to cast frost nova, but if I did I'd back them straight up. If you're casting two fireballs from each mage and a mob is still giving you a beatdown then there's a couple of things that could be wrong;

1. You're taking on mobs that are too high. Like 4 levels too high cause they're resisting but even then you should be killing them fine.
2. You're standing way too close. Max range is where casters live and fight from.

As far as your toons not facing the right direction after Frost Nova, I don't have an answer for that. Mobs never lived long enough for me to ever have to worry about that. My two mages could take on 3 mobs and they would maybe take a couple of hits and I'd never cast Frost Nova. Mana Shield FTW .

My 3 mob rotation?

Sheep x2 As others have said DON'T have both mages sheeping the same mob. Two mages = two sheeps.
Frostbolt the third mob. (Slows him down a bit. Protip: While you're in the process casting sheep, go ahead and target the next mob. As soon as your first target gets sheeped then you have already targeted the next mob. Lots of folks don't take that into consideration)
Fireball x2 (If he's still alive then Fireblast)
Resheep the two mobs again even if they're both still sheeped.
Pick one to kill
Frostbolt Fireball yada yada yada.

There's no reason you should be having problems mowing thru stuff with two mages. Get your spell rotation down pat! After that, you'll be learning how to ad-lib fights that have adds and such.
