To me a wizard is someone who studies magic, and a mage is just someone who has a natural affinity for it.

Wizards are purple.

Huh, from wowhead all Wizards are humans… Save for one nightborne.

Not sure there is one, really. Same as calling someone a sorcerer.

However in D&D there is a difference between a sorcerer and a wizard, they are two different classes.

So, given WoW is based (to a point) upon D&D my educated guess would be they used Mage in order to exclude people’s preconceptions of how the class would play. Further more, and more likely, “Mage” is a gender neutral term whereas you have wizard/witch and sorcerer/sorcereress.
