it depends on the spec of the mage but any decent frost mage should always kill a war 1 on 1 unless the war gets incredibly lucky/mage mistake/mage afk.

fire/arcane would prob be 50/50

Any mage you fight in arena past 1700 rating is usually frost spec (occasional pve specced fire mage). And ofc they can play. 1700 rating may not be a super high rating but you do need at least half a brain to maintain it. I did with another warrior and we did fine against most grps. I found good resto druids more of a pain than a mage. I have killed 2 mages myself a fair few times while my partner was constantly sheeped due to one or the other mage thinking they could kill me easy if 1 is out the fight. Wars hit hard.

I'm no amazing warrior player, I like to think I understand most classes having played them so I normally know what to expect.
 
The Mage in arena is a travesty of what the class should be. They aren't wanted for damage, they're wanted as chain sheepers and interrupters. It's certainly not what I rolled a Mage to do.
 
Beacuse their other cooldowns such as frost nova and Blink are ticking away while they are in block, so they can get away as soon as its over. They can also be healed in block.

*And* its great for nullifying Cloak of Shadows, Silence, stuff like that.

Its part of the total immunity cycle, pally and mage means unstoppable healing...

Mage iceblocks, pally bubbles, you can't stop mage getting heals... normally you can do strategic cyclones/interrupts to stop most healing but when pally bubbles, you just cyclone his target...

Unless you really want to be nelf, go human for your Rogue mate - perception pwns in arena.

Rogue Arena spec is Hemo, Combat has never been a strong PvP build.
