The only advantage of playing a dagger bird is that Dex raises the power of bird skills (Str raises bear skills), so a dagger bird has more powerful damage skills, but they can't do as much damage with the actual dagger as a bear can.
The only advantage of mages is their unique skill set, including heal, and mana shield. But really, unless you want to be part time healer, part time stabber, they aren't a good choice.
