What else? Arcane brilliance, mage food/water, counterspell, deep freeze stun, iceblock, invisibility, polymorph, portals, remove curse, slow fall, spellsteal, time warp, combustion (stun), dragon's breath (AOE disorient which I remember using on Cho'Gal to CC mind-controlled players).
I wouldn't say mages have a lack of raid utility.
