I wish I knew mages kinda suck in PVP in WoW right now in PVP, while it's good they made gear in PVP nearly irrelevant, eliminating gearing mistakes like I would see in SWTOR the preset stats they have for mages gimps them badly in PVP, other classes easily out damage mages while being less squishy, so Mages right now in PVP are like glass cannons but the cannons are more like BB guns.
After I level up my Demon Hunter I'm going to research what classes are decent in PVP now before picking another class to play around with.
Oh and I do miss the class stories from SWTOR and the voice acting, SWTOR definitely has WoW beat for an easy to follow story and cinematic, basically the stuff that's more like a single player RPG set within a MMORPG.

They've completely eliminated the adventure that was Skyrim (or previous games) and turned almost the entire game into a series of "walk to this point and then this point, and then this one over there" which is just sad; because given the world that they've created, if it actually played like Skyrim that would be freaking awesome. They've completely removed the immersion into your character; you aren't the hero of the world, you're one of countless heroes doing exactly the same things.
I understand where you're coming from, but for me an mmorpg can still be immersive as long as I feel like the players around me are on equal footing. For example, if I'm in a dungeon with a party and we're all around the same level then I still feel challenged and immersed while taking down the boss or whatever. But high level players crushing mobs before you can do anything would ruin it for me too.
Also, it's hard for me to feel like a hero in general if there are a thousand people on the server more epic than me. Guild Wars 2 tried to tackle this problem by making all of the content scalable (within 5 levels). It may have changed since then, but basically if you were max level and went to a starting zone with enemies of level 5, you would be scaled to level 10 while in that area. It helped. But even though those players were scaled down, they had great gear and abilities making them feel disparately powerful. Also they still looked super epic compared to me, with all their cosmetics. Ultimately my character felt in the shadow of many others and wasn't very immersive for me.
The only solution I've found to this is I really have to be part of the movement: leveling up around the same time as others so that even though I'm technically one of many heroes, I still feel very heroic in my own right. But of course in every mmo, the average player rises to max level at an absurd rate that I would have to put my life on hold to match. Oh well.

Mages are fine in competitive PvP (3v3 arenas): http://us.battle.net/wow/en/pvp/leaderboards/3v3
I would say it takes a lot more skill to be successful with a Mage than with a DH. You really have to utilize your range and CC effectively, but the ceiling is just as high.

I used to love WoW PVP, but it's sucked for a very long time now IMO, sod requiring premade/guildie PVP teams and let me go solo kick arse!

I have become much better at avoiding death when 1 or 2 guys jumps on me compared to when I was leveling up, was fun using ice block, frost nova and still getting dead by one guy

Lol. Do you just play through the seasons with "my player" or whatever? How far have you gotten along? I never could get through a full season, takes forever.
