1)The higher you get, the more you fallback. You can take the following steps, but you'll always fallaback alot. - Ensure you fallback on a dragon path (check the guide); - Increase short cooldown direct damage skills (archer magic arrow; mage skill 2; healer skill 3) and get those classes on your backrow; - Work on a natural (non-mind control dependent) hit and critical rate (both max); - Pump your frontline armor to buy as much time as you can for your backline to fire skills.

2) Mage skills priority vary alot on what you are facing. Mage is one of the few classes where I have all skills on autocast and just pumped his attack speed to maximum (it also increases spell cast time).

If you are falling back stages or facing dungeons, skills 1 and 2 are very important. If you are pushing stages, having max stun time on skill 5 is also paramount (happens@lvl 800 = 10 seconds stun). Skills 1, 4 and 5 add utility (via debuffs) appart from splash damage, so they're all handy pushing stages. Skill 1 is a great burst magical damage single target source on quick fights. And skill 3, even having no utility, has a decent splash aoe / scaling for it's cooldown time.
