Put simply, you can't afford to leave enemy mages secure in their defenses. Once you do, they turn into casting bombs, destroying your melee folk faster than any slicer-dicer could.
So for me, Breach and Pierce are essential spells. I lower my enemy's resistance, shoot those spells out, and turn my melee people lose with their weedwackers. I also follow through with magical attacks of my own. I would suggest that any magical strategy which hasn't included the importance of these spells has some serious holes in it.
You know what took down Firkraag in two of my run-throughs? Lower Resistance, Breach, Pierce...and tons of Magic Missiles! I had three party members lobbing the things at him. That, plus the Ring of the Ram, did him in.
