Our mages keep crying that they have to use invisibility
Our mages are grouped together standing in melee range next to our tanks for soaking meteor slash.

These comments are silly, do you realise that?. If I was a mage in your guild id be crying as well, because having me stand in melee range to soak is downright silly when I want to be doing max DPS.
It would mean they can only dps to ~90-95% MT threat standing in melee, instead of ~120-125% MT threat from range. The difference is big for DPS because we can push/ride the MT's threat alot harder without pulling agro. For reference, my soak groups generally look like this:
Front line (in front of the tank, melee range) = Resto Shamans, Holy Priest, Holy Paladin
Middle line (next to the tank, melee range) = Shadow Priest and any undergeared DPS (Or non-standard dps specs, like affliction warlocks) you bring who you know couldnt pull agro if they tried, since the middle line is still in melee range
Back Line (behind the tank, range distance) = Warlocks, Mages, Hunters.
Any spare warlock / mage / hunter that cant fit in the back line of three, are kicked out of the soak group and put behind Brutallus instead. There is never, under any circumstance, one of them in melee range
unless they are an undergeared new recruit.
