Not really, I've tried that.

As you have stated, that is what I do, plus I add Stifle.

However, to better assist in visualizing the situation:

Fear first. At most 8 seconds.

Frost + Inferno = 700 damage per 3 seconds. However, casting time is 4 seconds.

Stifle. Another second or so. Can't remember exact time.

Spells = 300 per second.

That's only 1k damage after the first round. Most likely, the cleric can stone. Casting again would result in 2.4k damage maximum, and the result? Cleric still alive, as HP stones would have recharged again. After that, mage is screwed.

Keep in mind this is assuming mage and cleric are of equal levels, and only a broad generalization. It's still hard to kill a cleric of the same level.
