Easy way to either force a lot of cooldowns, or get a kill: Charge in both on mounts, pop everything Repent their partner while your partner CoIs the mage. Run into melee range - and HoJ+Pop all cds. They almost def. will blink here, DK Grips back - you should have roughly 2 gcds of open damage - DO NOT hammer til he walks out of range, if mage's partner is a healer - and mage is sub-50% - Strang the healer, HoF your partner, cleanse yourself. Easy kill.
If he plays frost or unholy - you guys HARDCOUNTER mage teams. The only mage team who should really cause issue is Mage+Spriest. As long as they use their cds liberally, you shouldn't win. These matches are almost always going to be short as hell, but unless their teamate is extremely squishy - you should ignore them.
