Agreed.

Back to topic: I think with some entrepreneurship and research you can always aoe farm as mage.

Did a full 20-60 aoe farm on a kind of ptr and it works great.
Stfuppercuts first post already had good insight, aoe farming is mostly doing some good pulls and some necessary supporting pulls.

Jpy’s AoE guide (outdated info on locations, use site above instead, though still has a lot of v good info for mage aoe grinding

It will be lees the matter of contested areas and more of the matter that level 20 for AOE is not very efficient. You risk a lot more trying to pull mobs prior to 40 because a mount lets you group mobs a lot easier without taking much damage. Additionally, you wont have talents like Ice Barrier until level 40 which will help keep you from being interrupted as well as the ability to grab a bunch of mobs without taking much damage. Anything is possible on a mage but it might not be as efficient as you hope it to be.
