Sounds like you're just targeting the wrong mobs. Mages are great soloers, peaking at level 49. You need to target low blue mobs that are equal or lower than your pets level. Your relative power is directly related to your spell level since that's the pet you're using. 38 will suck, 39 is great, 43 really sucks, 44 great. Often best to solo the first couple levels after a new pet, then group the last levels before new spells. Relax, sick Fluffy on some buggers, open a beer, and get some exp.
Also: I'm sure you know this but never nuke if you're chaining. You'll lose all the aggro of the old pet. Also work on that timing. If using fire pet during chaining if he doesn't cast DS right away, keep backing him off mob and he'll cast it eventually.

I can't find any mobs that don't immediately destroy my pet then kill me and making the last 2 hours of my time pointless because I just keep dying.

No. The Magician can solo excellently. It's just you're probably doing chain-casting wrong. Dont expect any pet other than Earth pet to stand toe to toe, and even Earth pet will need some heals.
Chain-casting fire pets is efficient strategy. You gotta have some distance between the mob and yourself. Start casting your fire pet when your current fire pet gets low. If you're almost done with the current cast and your pet still isnt dead, I just dismiss it before my pet comes out. Pretty simple. Good luck!

Thats exactly what I do and yet the pet never keeps aggro and I die.
