Every class is needed in the endgame, but there are a lot of hunters.
I have a mage of my own, and personally (I've seriously tried every class) the mage was most fun for me.
Food/Water is very much needed in raids and such.
Frost is good for slowing enemy down and great for solo play.
Even then, I prefer fire (I have tried an ice mage). Fire does more damage and if you have a healer and you are out damaging the warrior, you'll get healed. Plus, if you just back off a little bit, the tank'll pull the aggro off of you and then you continue to fight the moster or whatever.
My boyfriend's level 60 mage (he's got an ice mage) has gotten into raids and I have watched one of the raids. There's been like 4 or 5 mages in the 20 man raid. I think there was only one fire mage, and the rest were frost. I believe frost is more popular, but if you are going to level up your mage, do what you think is more fun. Besides, even as a fire mage you can have frostbolt and frost nova (going to be called "freeze").
But, like Huhulak said, play whatever you like to play. :)
