Its simple: The mechanic of spell pushback overlaps too much with spell cancelling in PVP. Spellcasts in melee are overcountered. Disagree? My rogue can keep a warlock spamming the fear button from completeing a single fear for over a minute and a half with a combination of slice and dice + melee haste, the standard cheap shot/kidney shot/blind/CloS/gouge and of course kick. It is clear something is wrong here.
A warrior spamming hamstring and his swings on my mage can easily make a frostbolt cast 6 seconds long, even casts that were 2.4 out of 2.5 seconds from completing before he entered melee range. Furthermore, he can then cancel it 5.9 seconds in (and lock the frost tree out as well of course).

I think the 25,000+ year old Draenei mages disagree that corruption is a set deal when it comes to magic. If you approach it with the absolute mindset of power, chances are you will become a necromancer or warlock, etc.
However, that isn't the only route to power, just the easiest one. There are mages that can cast several incredibly powerful spells in seconds. Spells that can wipe out tens, hundreds or maybe thousands of people in seconds. Archimonde destroyed Dalaran, a city with incredible magic shielding, in seconds with one spell.
Magic is, essentially, everything in WoW. It is your ability to change the surroundings. However you do it depends on your style. Shaman techniquely use magic in their spells and totems. Druids cast spells. Priest prayers are essentially spells (note that this only refers to their active spells, not things their respective deities do for them without asking, such as the magical shield that protected Tyrande from the BL for a month or more that even Archimonde couldn't break.)

There is a culture of players in World of Warcraft that play the game not for fun, but for profit. To the citizens of Azeroth, these players are known as "Farmers." Farmers spend their time killing monsters in out of the way places for the items they drop. A farmer hopes to get rare and valuable items for the hours spent mindlessly killing. They then hock all the items gathered to vendors or to other players via the Auction House. A majority of the gold farmers active in World of Warcraft are Chinese, and often speak little to no English. Though they are often the focus of ridicule by American players, and playing video games for money is something that most American kids would dream of, their lives are not easy as it may sound.
