Magic priests (Magic-based exorcists) can also do well in PvP.
Mages are usually OK in PvP, and lose their luster in the later levels.
If you go with mage, there are four classes:
Elementalist- Great for dungeon crawling, massive AOEs, and shiny spells
Witch- Great for aerial combos, great speed, great dodging abilities. Decent at stage, and overall is pretty fun and different from anything you'll ever experience.
Summoner- Mechanics are better, summoners are kind of underpowered because they can't really do much.
Battlemage- Specialize in close range combat, and are pretty good at PvP.
My recommendation:
Since I think you're more of a dungeon crawler than a PvPer, you should go with elementalist or witch, whichever you think would be fun/suit your playing style (elementalists basically have AOEs for big mobs, and witches are speedy aerial comboers).
However, if you like/love to PvP, magic exorcist and battle mage is a definite option.
