Mage does very high DPS. They are absolutely not one of the most underpowered classes. Necro is lower DPS in typical groups. Mage also has resist debuff, which you left out. It helps a lot with charming.

Unfortunately in most solo/group situations utility is greater than DPS. It doesn't make mages any better. I'd take a Necro's utility over a Mage's DPS any day of the week. There is a reason why groups do not gear check members. DPS really isn't that important most of the time. If it was, you would get screened out of a group if your gear was bad while you were playing Rogue, Monk, etc.
As for the resist debuff, you will often have a Shaman or Enchanter in a group situation. Mage doesn't have a monopoly on resist debuffs, and it is worse than a Shaman's.
