Tulle, specialist mages are good to some, while to others they aren't. You're right about their downfalls, not being able to cast spells from the school they chose to ignore. What they do get though, which as I believe is their only advantage, is that they can cast one extra spell per level. That said, I'm pretty sure the most popular Specialist mages are the Conjurer and Illusionist, and I normally pick Illusionist myself.
