the most awesome character I've had was a dualed Kensai/mage (current, playing Tob).
I don't know if this is obvious to everyone, but as a kensai cant have armour anyway, and a mage can't cast in armour, kensai/mage is the best fighter/mage combo. My character is Kensai(8)/Mage(24), dual wielding Celestial Fury and Dak'Kon's Zerth Blade with 4* on katana and 3* on dual wielding. another little exploit is even though Kensais can't have armour, a Kensai/mage can have Robe of the Arch-magi (AC5 & MR 5%). He also has Wong Fei's Ioun Stone, Amulet of power and Ring of Wizardry, Ring of Protection +2, Boots of Speed and a few other bits.
This all means he can cast spells with the best of them, or rush in and blitz in melee. Being a Kensai with high dex also means he has a pretty decent armour class when added to the RoP+2 and Archmagi robe.
Oh and his name is Rahvin, one of the Forsaken in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series
