If you're destro pvp, there's no way a similar geared mage will beat you 1-1.
You have too many things to counter him. Fear, death coil, shadowfury, nether protection, void bubble or felpuppy spell lock, soul link, dots, chaos bolt agains mana shield, drain life, conflagrate, health stone.
Also use searing pain. It's fast and has no travel time.

This is very true. In BGs I always run around with Succy but if you duel a Mage consider switching to Felpup, it helps so much.
Anyway, if you are using your Succy, don't use your Seduce to CC, Mages can break it too easily (Ice Block, Trinket, Will of the Forsaken if UD), use it to interrupt their spells (this needs some fast reactions because Seduce is not instant anymore with 3/3 imp suc but it should work if you practise). Try to get him to Counterspell your Shadow School, or fakecast so that he will Counterspell nothing. It is *vital* that you keep your Fire school available. Do not use long casts before he used his Counterspell, this means only Immolate and Searing Pain. Try to get him to use Counterspell by casting a Shadowbolt. Bad Mages will fall for it. Also use Corruption. You do not use Seduce to CC here so it is no problem when it breaks. Use CoE to pierce his Mage Armor if you do not have a lot of Spell Pen. Otherwise CoT. (Good Mages will decurse anyway but it's a GCD he has to waste ;))
Mirror Image is a bitch, use Shadowfury to stun all Mages at once, then Howl of Terror, that will chase them off so you can focus on the real Mage again.
You really should win this. If you have a Felpup out use your self devour macro to try to eat Deep Freeze. Just watch out for Counterspell. A well placed Counterspell will lose the match for you.
