Well, Melf's minute meteors can go through pretty much any protection and those energy blades are pretty good. People far to much want to are consumed with the idea of a katana wielding spelling casting human when a gnomish theif/illusionist can be great combined with the bow of gesen's and sorcerers/sorcereresses are amazing if you pick your spells right. I say don't dual class don't do any of that what you should do is roll but don't adjust your stats go back to Baldur's gate with a elvish diviner and put the game on the hardest difficulty and see if you can make it to the end of throne of bhaal! But in answer to your question if you want your mage to be more productive grab haste items and robes that reduce casting time like the robe of vecena and pause before sending in your fighters thus they will take far less damage. And make use of magic missile spell sequencers I killed the first irenicus using them and they help on dragons and liches if you can catch them off guard.
