It really depends on the mage...
I find that dropping grounding totem very early and dropping again as soon as the icelance kills the first works quite well (this does bug with lag from grounding effect hitting you sometimes). Hopefully that'll eat a counterspell if thats their next move leaving you open to shock the sheep. I 2v2 with a shadow priest so normally can get that dispelled (if they sheep him I just outlast the damage). Remember to purge your shield off them (or better yet ES spell steal if you can.) and just keep em interrupted.
It'll end up as a mana fight 1v1 unless they get a very lucky CS - so searing totem down all the time, water shield and mana spring. Save NS-HW for when they think they've got you as often they don't notice that and blow their cooldowns while you're happily healing to full.
When you both get to low mana- rank one frost shock, searing and melee with firebrand. Polymorph heals you so don't bother healing up past about 6k health if their CS is on cooldown.
One thing to try is regen enough mana to ressurect, and when they run off to drink res your dps buddy and drop tide.
