Elemental itself counters a Fire mage yes.
Shaman, Warlock and DK are all usually good counters to mages, which would explain why you don’t have fun versus them. It also explains why I hate playing versus WWs and Arms as Enhance.
explain my very high winrate against them then
shaman as a class sure (and lock as a proxy because they pair well), but DK? can you even give a single example where mage was a bad pick into DK?
That depends on what comp you are playing, you are also only playing 2s by the looks of it, it changes drastically in 3s. Notice how I also said Elemental itself, playing with another class could lessen the weaknesses that Mages have into Elemental, just as Warlock makes Elemental better due to the fact that they can peel with fear and other CC, Shamans die quite easy.
DK is an anticaster class, they are no fun versus most casters due to their very good toolkit against them. Dks are bad at the moment, but I’m sure you’ve had a great time against DKs in BfA and other expansions when they were in a good spot.
Ranged kick, Grip, 70% undispelable spamable slow, AMZ, AMS to absorb everything including CC, Lichborne for Priests, Warlocks and Warriors, their usually insane self healing, their Auras, their anti-slow mechanics and of course their old Icy Touch.
you list all these abilities like they matter if the DK still loses the game
these are the things that make DK annoying to fight, but not by any means a counter because all that matters is the win
since you decided to list BFA as an example of dks being in a good spot, let’s take a look at the the 2019 blizzcon finals. overall 13 games of mage team vs dk team - 11 wins 2 losses for the mage teams 
I don’t think Grounding should be removed, however IMO it doesn’t make ANY sense it works out of LoS

Now I want to see a meteor swervining right onto the totem.
If the DK loses then it’s because of misplays.
Yes, because Destruction Fire was not a troll comp at all due to how overpowered Destruction was.
DK naturally counters casters, it doesn’t mean it’s an instant loss, you have to consider the human factor too. Watch some high rated DK gameplays from previous expansions and just look at how they demolish everything, with the exception of the cheesy Destro Fire comp, which wasn’t beatable by pretty much anyone.
I won versus several Arms comps on my Enhancer yesterday, I shouldn’t because Arms counters me, but because of misplays from their healers and the Warriors themselves, I was able to win.
Don’t you think you’re referring to your class there dude?
https://imgur.com/6VewYgiYeah I didn’t play arenas yet (might change in near future). But that still allows me to throw an oppinion about this and also doesn’t devalue my argument. If you’d throw a survey about your statement, I’m pretty sure that most people would rather find your class more annoying to fight against. 
Can only agree.
Oh no mages’ coombust got stopped by a totem, poor you /s
