I feel the nerd rage from here.
Seriously buddy, chill. I was just making a point.
You may feel like your getting hit with the nerf bat. but just think of all the other classes taht have had it hard for a long time.

Shamans come to mind, pallies in prot and ret pre tbc, and ret and holy now. Shadow and Disc pre bc, warlocks as a whole bc.

Its an ever changing balance, if anything, mages have been lucky to avoid the blizz bat for so long, it means when you do receive buffs they will be well thought out, as opposed to the band aids that every other class gets, which are then rolled back 2 weeks later, and then they QQ about that.

So just stop and consider how good mages actually have it.
When ive got a choice between a mage and a warlock in an instance, nine times out of ten ill take the mage, why? Lets see; sheep, counterspell, frost bolt kiting when things go bad, non bursty dps, mage table, survivability, aggro dumps, aoe and single target dps.
No other class can really bring such a wide variety of things to an encounter, let alone be so good at so many of them.
