My ilevel is 279. I have a pretty good feel for the black mage, though I am sure I am far from the best. I am going to pin the problem on me. I feel I am just not fast enough to do everything that needs to be done. I can get to a point where I can take down two walls. Most of the time another npc claims oozo before me. I've tried standing in the circle as well. I feel for me I am just not fast enough to do everything that needs to be done.
