I think a popular soloing strat for mages is to chain cast pets. Pull mob, have pet attack it, if the pet is winning cast reclaim energy when the mob is below 10% and use a small nuke to finish it, if the pet is losing start summoning a new one and hit pet go away right before the cast finishes to get a fresh new pet as seamlessly as possible, and then reclaim energy at the end. Ends up burning through reagents, but that's the price to pay.
The 50% rule doesn't count if you're grouped. So finding a partner to duo with is always good.
I dunno I'm not a mage though. Just some dude who's bored at work.
