If you are a mage in classic WOW, learn to sheep. It's one of the best CC tactics in the game. Sheeping is turning an enemy into a sheep with a mage spell. (This is also called polymorphing.) There are limitations (you can only sheep one target at a time, plus you and your party have to not attack it while sheeped or it will revert to the original form) but it's a great tactic. Sheeping typically lasts 10-12 seconds but it can last longer, up to 50 seconds.
By the way, the Solo MMO Player says if you are soloing Classic WOW, it's probably best to attack the main boss first, then pick off the ads. This is the opposite of normal strategy but when you are on your own, you have to adjust things.
