True, I have not played priest much, completely forgot about priest's racial spells.
Mages are fun in pve (have not tried a mage in pvp). The good part is frost aoe grinding, from my experience (aoe lvled from 26 to 60) fire and arcane are not good for aoe. Mass killing of mobs fun because it requires more skill then killing them one by one. If you have one mob then you need to press right sequence of hotkeys and that is it. To kill 5-7 (10 if you are good) you also have to be at the right place when you cast spells not only this mobs have to be at the right place. A priest would help alot for aoe grinding because misfired FN usually kills you if you alone. aoe grinding is living on the edge ). PVP server might be a problem because of this , it is easy to kill a mage who already has 5-7 mobs on his ass. The other problem is that some very good aoe spots are in places with a lot of traffic (arathi, pirates in tanaris, sceltons in epl).
You can find lots of videos online of amazing feats pulled by frost mages. I was not half as good as they are but still occasionally you hear "man that was amazing"
Mages have low health but frost tree makes mages very difficult to kill. That also makes frost mage more useful in an instace (frost has more tools for CC).
With the rumor/confirmed by blue of a nerf to Frost Nova - AOE grinding could become interesting. (FN will break on all crit. )
