Arcane Torrent: The Allure of the Mage

There is something to be said about being a glass canon; people fear you yet you're the most fragile class in the game. Or is that really the case? Mages are known for their huge crits, crowd control and over all utility, not to mention the added bonus of free food and drinks.
Sure mages don't sport much in the way of HP, but if played right, they can own pretty much any class. Even soul link warlocks! This is probably true for any of the classes if Blizzard had anything to say about it, but it's especially true for the mage because of their 'glass canon' stereotype.
Author Evertras has posted a video detailing exactly how to play a mage in pvp, as well as gives some great general pvp tips. The video is a little long, and the first 4 minutes are an attempt at comedy, but for me came off as a little annoying, but at 4:25 into the video, his undead mage begins explaining to an angry BE mage how it's possible to own a warlock in pvp. He goes on to other classes from there too.
Check out the video here, I'd have posted it here but I can't find the embed code anywhere. Enjoy!
