I was thinking for an alternative server of rolling 5 alliance mages for a pvp fun. So far I have done only horde and never mages.

Can you 5box mages or are they tough due to the need for mouse for things like blizzard or dragon breath?

How does sheep work when all should be targetting the main's target, is there a macro to make them target other mobs?

would 5box mages be good for pvp or woudl 5 shammy be better?
Suvega 'boxes 4 mages and a priest (and swaps out a mage with a warrior for normal 5-man instances). Works great, though he really doesn't use many of the targeted spells.

What you can do for sheeping is use a /focus. On each mage, just /focus a different sheepable mob and use this macro:
/cast [target=focus] Sheep
5-shammies do better in matches were defense is key -- they can heal, dps, and their totems work great for defensive purposes.
Mages do better in battlegrounds, where all-out-offense can be a winning tactic. Suvega regularly wipes people on Vann/Balinda by running in there, PoM+Pyro'ing the tank, and AE'ing everyone.
