"The Archmage is spell casting madness gone bananas. Like everything the High Elves do, they are the best at it, no matter what. Thus the Archmage is not just good at magic; they are super good at magic. This is a Healer / Caster. To be good at his job, the Archmage must taste combat, draw in Chaos energy, control it, then fire it back at the enemy or mold it into positive magic to unleash on his allies."
- Paul Barnett, Creative Director.

RDPS + healing = not going to happen. They can however do both moderately well. One could spec to increase damage and or healing.

From what I have learned, they have the same Mechanic... but the same spells and tactics?

I think not.

He said equivelent, not clone. Same mechanic more or less, and the same general types of spells, seeming to focus on healing and nuking. However the spells themselves should be different, espicially flavor-wise.
