They level decently fast especially if you have any of the BoA stuff. Best leveling spec imo is frost.

Of course, asking whether you should make a mage on a mage forum might result in some biased answers.
QFT..
to the OP... how fast a mage levels really depends on a lot of factors.. how familiar you are with the quests, how well you can control the mobs you need to kill, how good you are at making the best of your squishyness. you can't wade into a stacks and stacks of mobs and come out on top like you could with a warrior or pally.. however, you COULD, conceiveably, freeze all them in place and AOE them down watching them come at you at the speed of a crawl, and laughing the whole time.
it's really quite dependant on a lot of things.

leveling a mage...
...
...
... sucks male genitalia. maybe im just a bad player (lol i sure do ask a ton of stupid Q's, so i imagine i probably am) but leveling my mage is painful. i think honest, its just a clash of personalities for me (a loud, aggressive person) to do everything in my power to try to AVOID a direct confrontation-- REGARDLESS. leveling a mage isnt slow (necesarily) and it isnt hard (as long as you know the general strat and have a cool down waiting for that inevitable add)
but why roll a mage to level it? lol i enjoy the hell out of my mage (just dinged 62 tonight! yuhh) in any and every group setting. i pop my second spec (fire >:D) and i watch those numbers FLY.
i have a 55 pally which i leveled for a long time cuz it was so much easier-- until i realized that the leveling isnt the point. its a necessary (and horrific) precursor to The Big Time, whatever that is for you-- raiding, pvp, whatever lol
so dont roll a mage with levelability in mind is my opinion-- rolll it cuz you want to be the most badass deeps that done ever did hurl a fireball..... or frostbolt... or arcane missile....
lmao but definitely dont as ka mage forum on whether or not to level one lololololol i guarantee if someone didnt like the class, they wouldnt be here :P

I created a mage a while back. Managed to level to 16, then got busy doing other things like gearing my main up for raids.
Recently I decided to play my mage again. I got to level 20 and got blink, Blizzard, etc. and started having WAY more fun with it. Bought the BOA shoulders, and... even more fun! My chosen profs are Enchanting and JC (Main has 450 mining, so mining was not necessary) and those have been fun too. I leveled JC up so high I can't even use the items I craft...yet.
If you decide to try out a mage, try to stick with it until at least level 20. It can be a bit tricky getting the hang of how to avoid being squashed, but once you get it, it's fun!
1 to 20 is the easy part since mobs are relatively easy to kill... i had a lot more problems in the mid 30s where most of the quests are either too low for you and give you piddly XP, or too high for you and the mobs are much harder to kill.
