Is it possible to build a "battle mage?"

[Destroying1]

While I wait for Cimmerian Woodlands to open, I'm looking to create a "Battle Mage."
I want to KNOW:
What class should I be?
What skills should I train in/use?
What attributes should I focus on?
What pet should I use? (Buying pet eggs is okay by me)

I WANT:
To be good at pvp
A valuable asset to parties
Decent at grinding (Not essential)
To be entirely unique

I know this seems confusing but I believe this can be achieved.

Note: I don't need an entire guide, just suggestions.
Also, It doesn't necessarily need to follow the words "Battle Mage." It can just be a unique hybrid of surviving, powerful skills, and assistance.

These guidelines don't have to be strictly followed, though they should be stuck to.

the only way u can be a great "battle mega'' is hard work and determination. so really any class u pick does not matter xD
