If you have a 3v3, for example, have 2 fighters each fight one person and the mage stands back and makes a 9d fireball and takes out the third (31 average damage should AT LEAST knock him out) in 4 seconds.

There's also a lot of spells that completely remove combatants from a conflict without doing any damage, those that inflict penalties to enemies, those that give bonuses to allies.... using raw damage is a poor gauge when so many other options are available. I love the Mind and Light & Darkness colleges for their non-lethal ways.
