You, like the other posters have gotten part of this wrong. YOu can't garrote if you're not already in stealth mode. Perhaps you're suggesting Rupture?
Gouge is what they mean.

Some tips I've picked up.
Imp gouge allows you to restealth. Wait 5 sec then sap to avoid DR. However, most good PvP builds wont use imp gouge(perhaps muti)
Blind>Restealth>Sap avoids DR.
Kite for a bit using crippling and rupture to avoid DR.

from my personal experience, stunlocking a mage isn't the best strat. I'd personally garrote them, rank 7 garrote gives you a 3 sec stun I believe, and use exposed armor. Most of the stuns you produce WILL get blinked out of, and it has a shorter CD then ShS (assuming our even using a sub build) so with a right placement of frost novas and your kited. IMO stunlocking a mage could result in getting locked down yourself. Again this is just from my personal exp with mages. Cheers.
lulwut? Ok lets start at the top, no stunlocking mages is not good because of blink, but you "can" just by CS then immediately gouging, so when they blink (hopefully) they're gouged 20 yards away. Next, the OP isn't talking about stunlocking A mage, he's talking about stunlocking for CC WITH a mage. Next, garrote silences, not stuns, that's cheap shot. Yes, blink has a few seconds shorter CD then ShS but if the mage blinks you should be able to ShS then gouge/KS shiv crippling... anything.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm flaming you, I'm just making sure people don't walk around WTF! Garrote isn't stunning them! :)
Now, my advice for the OP is to not worry about keeping one class tied up by himself, it will take a team effort of Sap/blind/frost nova/sheep/others to be a good crowd control method. Just keep the healer CC'd and kill the weaker one/non healer.

people keep talking about it but stunlock died a year ago
too much health, too many trinkets and abilities that remove stuns/disorients...move on
