This season it's going to be really really hard to survive as a non-mythic user. I did it, but that was the last 2 seasons...this season, the mythic weapons will thrash you.
It IS, however, possible. First, you've got the wrong gear. Get Ancient Druidic of Brut armor and helm. Ring, I'm not sure because I ran with silver hoop of brutality before I got my mythic ring - compare stats and see which plays more to your liking.
Pure int won't be enough. Add a couple of points into STR - maybe around 10. STR strengthens your shield as well which is a plus. Try to make your damage go above say 450 - it won't be too hard as long as you get your hands on a damage % pet (dovabear f.e).
For build, Fire curse shield heal would be a good one for PvP. In 1v1s, click on my signature to read how to kill a rogue. I also wrote up a guide on how to play a mage right here at

Following these strategies, you should be able to hold your own in PvP. Bear in mind, almost all mythic users will walk over you (especially warriors) so be sure to stay RGed. PvP will be hard for you - make your priority farming for mythics. It isn't too hard, about 2m for the armor and helm together - the mage set is especially cheap.
It is however doable, don't be discouraged. I know several non mythic mages who give me a hard time in PvP (hunt up this guy called Eternaldarkns - very good mage in 1v1s and he doesn't use mythics). You could be one of them!
