Soloable dungeons?

At level 80, what dungeons are soloable as a mage? I'm mainly looking for achievements in BC areas as I don't think there's a classic dungeon that can't be soloed at 80.
Since we can't heal ourselves or our pet, I would imagine that most of the top-tier and some of the mid-level dungeons are not soloable. I've been reading up on them today, and it seems like a DK or Pally can solo everything, but I've rarely seen posts from mages soloing BC dungeons and I wasn't sure if it's because not many mages are posting it, or if we simply can't because we're too squishy and no real pet.
Sorry if this is kinda noobish, but I took a year and a half off the game and am frustrated that I ran all of these dungeons before achievements were implemented and don't have credit for the majority of them.

I'd imagine that with good kiting on the trash and proper tactics you could solo more than you think. Onyxia (the old ony) and Rag have both been soloed by mages, and those are much meaner fights than you'd run into in a 70 instance.

Hmm, I'll have to give a few a try then. I went to Ramparts when I was around 77 or so and couldn't get past the first boss (trash wasn't hard though). I imagine now at 80 and "back in the saddle" so to speak, it wouldn't be too bad now.
It just seems like a lot of the bosses wouldn't be slowable/snareable and would pound me quickly with no healer backing me up, at least until I really up my gear (mostly quest and tailored items right now).
I can't link my armory at work, but it's Dagoreth on Staghelm. Don't laugh too hard :-)

Chris - this is as a solo mage to see what achievements I could get without grouping up, so no heals or other members.
I imagine us mages could two man just about every BC instance even on heroic.

Don't forget that enemies will always ignore you while your Mirror Images are up. Allows for some nice kiting.

Thanks for the tips, I'll try out some of these tonight. I keep forgetting about Mirror Image since it wasn't in BC that I can remember (may have been added after I quit).

Some guy on here was saying he could solo H Magisters Terrace on his mage, dunno if thats true or not because they hit like bricks.
I've done everything up to Mana Tombs on Reg. Some bosses are heavy hitters and can break down your ice barrier in one hit. Though i'm sure with the right gear you could do all the Regs, and Heroic ramps/bf.
