I have a lvl 30 potatoed Frost and he surely fits your definition of mage-like as he's dependet on his skills for high level tanking and they also have great offensive potential. I will quickly go over his skills so you get an idea about Frost gameplay.

Sadly Freeze isnt that useful, sometimes it can save you from a charging Disruptor, but so does basic frost elemental dmg. Furthermore it does not help against crowds, but his other abilities got that covered.

Maxed out Ice Wave + Focus Mod wrecks face. Great for clearing Infested Crowds and very effective against corpus as it kills Ospreys while dealing double dmg to shields (since it is frost elemental type dmg), often clearing the whole crowd (except maybe some bigger Moas/Techs).

Snow Globe is not only great for defense missions, it also helps for crowd control and the slow adds up with the freeze elemental slow! So slamming the ground with a Fragor with freeze dmg inside the Globe takes out your targets for quite some time.

The knockback/blind/freeze from Avalance is very useful to get you out of sticky situations, but the dmg portion of the skill falls off in high lvl content as its affected by armor.

I sincerely recommend Frost, he is awesome.
