Yes Gandalf is spot on here. Putting a mage or two to back up your PD can make your PD awesome, especially if you cast spells then retreat at the end. It can make for a effective fighting withdrawl strategy, wearing down a invading army until your main field army arrives.
Another trick I like to do is, a main research centre for your mages, is not to build a castle. Just rely on PD 30+, plus the combined magical power of your researching mages to defend the province. With a castle the mages would after change from research to patrol. You effectively save on the cost of a castle and wasted research time.
