Nope.

IF you want ot play a mage you have two choices, be super stealthy with Illusion, or summon minions and support them with destruction.

And if player learn to play and use destruction?

[sarcasm]Yes my bad is impossibile right.[/sarcasm]

Having a problem playing a mage on expert or master? Play an easier difficulty setting. There's no shame in that, you know. It makes no sense to complain about how difficult the game is if you're playing on a harder level.
Reminds me of the old joke:
Patient : "Doctor, it hurts when I do this (wiggles arm.)"
Doctor : "So don't do that."

You're playing on Master and trying to make a balance argument? That's laughable.

Next they'll be complaining that enemies take twice as much damage on master.

Simple question. Have they patched it yet where I can play a mage without getting my ass handed to me? Or is the warrior build still infinitely better? I want to play this game again but as a mage, there is no incentive to 'try' to get better.

You can play the game as a Mage. I've done it myself. It's perfectly doable. It's just very difficult in places, because you have no proper armour. Using spells like Oakflesh and the like for protection from physical blows and Wards to block magic you can survive. Having a tougher melee follower with you as back up also helps.

The system is not broken. It's just not to your taste. There is nothing to 'patch' here.
