The (main) reason the F/M/T and F/C/M aren't good powergaming classes is that their Mage component stops just short of Level 18, which means no 9th level spells, which means no Time Stop->Improved Alacrity holy hell.

The other reason is that with 3 classes getting HLAs at the same time, there's no room for all of the available HLAs to fit on the board at the same time. So BioWare said, "Heck, they can't get 9th Level spells anyway, let's drop all of the Mage HLAs off the board." So you won't get to choose Extra 6th, 7th, 8th level spells either.
