Summarize the following:
Each member of a raid or party has a primary role to manage threat levels and aggro in an instance.  For a mage this means staying at max range from the mob being tanked and hesitating after casting a critical hit.  Frost mages after level 30 have an advantage because they can use Ice Block which, for the duration of the Ice Block, wipes their accumulated threat.  As mentioned above, being a great player does not mean doing the most damage, especially in an instance.  So the mage may have to resort to their wand at times so that the tank can maintain aggro. Critical hits tend to come in groups, so it is inevitable that a mage will grab aggro away from the tank. Should the mage get the attention of the boss or mob being attacked it is important to run or blink toward the main tank instead of running away.  Do not compound your error of grabbing aggro by making the tank chase you and the mob around the instance. A mage will be called upon to "sheep" a mob when there are multiple targets in a group that your party must kill. There will be times when the leader will call for a sheep pull, which requires the mage to start the fight by casting the sheep spell on the indicated target.  After completing this cast, the rest of the mobs in the pull will want to kill you, so it is important that you do nothing further until the tank has gotten the attention of the rest of the mob to keep you safe. When a rogue is part of your party, the mage will be required to wait until the rogue has performed their crowd control (Known as: Sap) before casting their sheep spell, as Sap can only be done out of combat. At other times the tank or a hunter may pull a group, and the mage will need to sheep their target as it is running toward the tank. Whatever the pull turns out to be, remember that your sheep will probably break (revert to it's true form) before the end of the fight.  Your mob will be very angry with you, and will want to kill you as quickly as possible.  At this point your number one priority is re-sheeping your target. If you are in the middle of a cast, hitting the escape key, or space bar will stop your cast. Re-target on your ex-sheep and cast sheep quickly. If you are in a good group, the others in your party will leave your mob alone, but it is not unusual for them to try to save you by attacking it.  It is a good idea to continue re-sheeping until you know that your group is leaving that mob alone. A great technique for re-sheeping is to make a "focus" macro pair.  One macro is to /focus on a target, and the next is /cast polymorph on the focused target.  This will allow you to instantly re-sheep without re-targeting.  You just have to re-designate your focus target before each pull. The Mage has the capability to remove curses from their fellow party members.  In some instances, bosses will do terrible damage with curses and the mage will be required to spend the majority of their time removing these curses in a particular fight.  There are addons and macros that will assist the mage in identifying group members who are cursed.  The World of Warcraft community forums are a good place to begin learning about addons and macros for mages. Finally, a mage will make friends with all mana users if he or she has prepared several stacks of conjured water for the group.  Once the mage has Arcane Brilliance, at least one stack of Arcane Powder is essential for short runs, two or more for long runs like MC or Karazhan.

summary: Here are some notes that you will need to know about when playing as a mage in a dungeon. Here are some important notes to know about. Back to the original notes:

Contrary to popular belief, fabric and furniture protectant sprays that are made for suede or leather aren’t always safe to use on velvet. Look for shoe or upholstery protectant sprays online or in general department stores. As you shop around, read the label to make sure that it’s suitable for velvet.  Look for a product that repels stains, waterproofs materials, or does both. Try products like Scotchgard or Vectra Furniture, Carpet and Fabric Protector Spray. Even if you find a product that you think won’t damage your velvet shoes, it’s best to try it out on a small, inconspicuous part of a shoe before spraying the whole thing. Spray just a little protectant onto the back of one of your shoes. Then, observe it to make sure that the spray doesn’t have a negative effect on your shoes, such as darkening the color or hardening the material. If you spray the protectant too close to the velvet, you may cause damage to your shoes. Hold it at least  6 inches (15 cm) away and then lightly mist the entire surface of each shoe. This may help to significantly minimize day-to-day staining and damage due to weather. Reapply the spray every 4-8 wears to get the best results. Set your misted shoes outside underneath a covering, such as a carport, for best results. This way, your shoes can dry thoroughly in the fresh air while being protected from the elements. Touch the velvet to make sure it’s totally dry before putting them on and wearing them out and about.

summary: Select a product that’s safe for velvet. Spot test a small area first. Hold the spray 6 inches (15 cm) away from the shoes and spray them. Let the shoes air dry before you wear them.

The simple 'sit' command can be useful in many different situations. Most importantly, it is a great distraction technique for redirecting your dog's attention from an undesirable behavior, such as jumping up. When your dog jumps up on you, turn your back to them while keeping them in your peripheral vision. Ask her to sit and immediately praise her when she does so.  If your dog is too excited to notice that you are asking her to sit, ignore her excited behavior until she calms down, and then repeat the command. Again, as soon as she follows your command, give her lots of praise or a special treat to let her know this is the behavior that gets rewarded, not jumping. With this simple command, the goal is to redirect your dog's jumping behavior with a task that should be easy to perform and then rewarded well. Your dog will soon figure out which greetings get her your full attention and which don't. If your dog doesn't know the sit command yet, start teaching her the command along and then try this method. Some dogs exude such extreme excitement when greeting someone that it may be difficult and time consuming to wait for them to calm down for a redirecting sit command. If this sounds like your dog, she may be more inclined to grab a toy and shake it or hold it instead. Keep a special toy by your front door to throw for your dog or give to her when you come home. This will redirect her energy into playing with the toy as opposed to jumping on you or your guests. The key to keeping your dog calm, and therefore exhibit calm behavior, is to also participate in only calm behavior when you come home. Try not to use a high-pitched or loud voice when talking to her. This includes shouting at her when she starts jumping up. This type of vocal tone could encourage more excitement and jumping.  Instead of using physical punishment to discourage bad behavior, teach your dog what behaviors get them the most rewards from you. You will have to repeat the actions of her training multiple times before she will get it. Don't get frustrated or upset because this will make her worse. Keep at it and she will eventually catch on
summary: Redirect with a sit command. Use a special toy. Stay calm.
