What spec is your mage, and what rotation are you using? I'm going to be working on mine to get her dps up as well - I'm focusing on gear, enchants and a few AH specials. She just got a titansteel spellblade, and a Faces of Doom, which boosted her DPS by 450 alone - well, well worth the price (she's inscription, she made the Faces Of Doom with stockpiled mats). I could be wrong, but it's probably best to overdo the spellpower as much as possible, so the spammable attacks hit for more.

she's fire atm and lvl72, i took my team Og and tested on a training dummy for a bit and tbh i think its just a gear/spec/lvl thing and not a real mage issue Im not that bothered right now as mainly questing till 80 anyway, i plan to go arcane with imp sorch at 80 with using this macro

/castsequence [target=focustarget] reset=combat/10/target scorch, arcane blast, arcane blast, arcane blast, arcane missiles,arcane blast, arcane blast, arcane blast, arcane missiles, arcane blast, arcane blast, arcane blast, arcane missiles

from what i can gather this should pump out some nice DPS and give the 5% crit to target bonus that my team could do with.

Only thing thats griping me atm is whether my mixed team will out DPS my shaman team as my mixed is at 72 and my shammy at 73 it would be nice to know what would be most effective, though i guess the answer will be "it depends what your killing"
