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.

Revisting Blogs about Classic WOW
I've started trying to find old class content from 2009 and earlier for the Classic WOW game. It's not easy. Most of the links with good information at one time are now dead and gone. Arcane Brilliance, SpicyTuna, Empowered Fire, Big Red Kitty, Psynister, they are all defunct.
But Critical QQ is still around, with lots of mage information. This appears to be the first posting, Halloween 2007. I recommend you rummage around as you'll get a real feel for what players were like in the original game.
https://criticalqq.wordpress.com/2007/10/
This article about the Fire Mage in PvP is from Critical QQ in 2010.
https://criticalqq.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/fire-mage-pvp-problems-and-solutions/
Slice and Dice's article about mages destroying rogues on heroics might be useful. He played a rogue back in the day, so don't look for much mage info here. But if you are a rogue, this is the blog to explore.
https://samueltempus.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/whats-up-with-my-heroic-dps/
Big Bear Butt is a famous hunter but this early article is all about feral druid specs. Enjoy it if you are a druid but if you are a hunter, this is the Mother Lode.
https://thebigbearbutt.com/2007/08/22/variations-in-feral-druid-specs-no-math/
Harpy's Nest is all about playing a priest or mage. This is a typical article. It lists all the places you can pick up the Polymorph spell if you are a mage. Who doesn't want to turn stuff into a pig?
https://harpysnest.wordpress.com/2010/08/20/the-many-flavours-of-polymorph/
Finally, Frost is the New Black is all about playing a frost mage, a restoration druid and a shadow priest. I'm not sure all the information on these characters is all Classic-specific, but it's a good place to explore.

Patch 4.0.1 Bugs and Problems
There are some real problems with Patch 4.0.1. The alchemy gem transmute recipes have disappeared so that leveling Alchemists can't get them, and Blizzard is pretending this isn't happening. BBB, Blizzard has more important things to worry about right now--they just blew up their game in a Bet-the-Company move.
http://thebigbearbutt.com/2010/10/16/alchemy-gem-transmute-recipes-gone-in-4-0-1/
The Major League Gaming Pro Circuit is having their tournament this weekend. It may be the last as their client won't work with Patch 4.0.1 so this PvP is under the old system.
http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/10/16/mlg-dc-starts-tonight-for-wow/
Blizzard has deployed a hot fix to the Violet Proto Drake/Master Riding problem.
http://www.wowhead.com/blog=171256
Arcane mage Prime glyphs has been mislabeled as major glyphs and cannot be placed in Prime slots. This may be the case for fire and frost configs also, but the Solo MMO Player has not checked this. No word on when this will be fixed.

The Addon Developer Kit no longer automatically extracts code with Patch 4.0.1. You have to go to a new developer's site to download this.
Warlocks have missing minions and demons, and the ones they have are renamed for them. This is supposed to be fixed next maintenance day if it hasn't been already.
There is mixed reaction to Patch 4.0.1's nerfing of Auction House addons. Blacksen thinks this will keep the amateur sellers away and consolidate power in the hands of professional goblins.
