for mage specs I remember War/Life spec and Og. Are there others that are considered more viable now?

Also, what is void magic good for? specific classes or mobs?

From what I can tell traditional mage specs are still very viable. I've been playing a Void Mage on DT (I just came back) and I am having no issues leveling up with it.

So far I have not run into any mobs that are resistant to Void Magic but, I believe some super high levels creatures that are resistant to Life Drains are also resilient/resistant to Void Magic.

Some people seem to prefer a melee/void hybrid, normally UA or 2handed. Put on 1/3 or 2/3 of the Void Dots and then melee your targets down but, this is probably more of a PVP thing.

Void Magic is easier to manage than War Magic is, there are only a handful of spells to keep track of. Three dots, a bolt, a streak, an arc, a healing debuff and a damage output debuff. I will say that War Magic is still king for big numbers and spike damage.

10.100.10.10.100.100 ?

Since you can breeze to 47 with the facility hub quests its not like stats mean much, throw in the fact two hour buff bots are available on white servers
