No.

Just because YOU enjoy playing mage classes in this game doesn't mean that they're well designed. It's great that you're awesome at working with what you got with DoM but that doesn't change the fact that you can get away with spamming AoE spells in most fights.
I guess it just depends on the kind of people you decide to play with and how important your role really is vs how many people are in your party. Typically I am the only mage in all the fights I am in. I guess if you have two or more it makes things a little more trivial. Also, in my opinion, most other fights currently that are not NM or very high ranked mobs/ ones you are attempting to incapacitate, are rather...unimportant? There is still some mild tactics involved like not standing in the way of a raptor's breath or tail attack, but until these mobs become harder or we get some dungeons with something MORE than what these mobs have to offer, then the only battles that feel like they matter are NMs ones. Maybe that's just me again, however, it is the only time it feels as if people really have to use what they have gained from ranking up their classes as far as battle goes.
