If you pay attention at the video, you'll notice that the mages use Slow to slow down the mobs so they don't come flying at your face. Mob control isn't killing the mobs, it's slowing down the mobs so the other attackers can kill them.
Whether this used to be true or not, it's a joke contribution even more so now that classes don't have minimum ranges, and plenty of classes have ultimates that can obliterate the mobs faster than using slow. Unless I'm mistaken this is before 4th Job was out anyway, and that's not even why the mage was there, it's not like the mobs were all consuming most of them floated to the top corners the rest were killed super fast, the magician was using Compo, and the few that made it pass the front lines were killed within in seconds, the mages "mob control" was hardly a defining factor in that bossrun. I'd hardly consider that mage essential to the bossrun especially since Bowman and DKs had Dragon Roar ArrowRain/Eruption which could accomplish the same mobbing height as IceStrike/Explosion, but could also turn around and provide decent 1vs1 damage.
