Burn through your heal pots? (Heal pots? Noooo!)
Use up your charged wand? (Wands? Eeek!)
Click your single-use amulet of teleport? (Teleport? Whaaat?!)
Smack it with your staff and hope for some lucky crits? (Caster melee crits? No way!)
Activate your once-a-day racial shadow-step ability? (Get-out-of-jail-free-energency abilities? Ugh!)
I dunno... should a caster be doomed when faced with melee combat?

I like your thinking, back to the wall, fight to survive! :D
If the mob is deep red to you, perhaps you better start praying in real life that you've tithed enough to whichever deity you hold dear to offer a resurrection upon your eventual demise. Otherwise, prepare to go on a corpse recovery expedition.
If the mob is light green to you, just fight it.

"Smack it with your staff and hope for some lucky crits?" or try to recast a spell but none of these healing pots, charge wands or teleport clickies in Pantheon, man!

Haha, exactly! :D
I guess that its named a "dead end" for a reason :) I would try everything at my disposal to survive that fight. I would try any spells I had equipped like a stun, root or mezmerize and use all of my equipped resources, potions etc, throwing rocks and strong curse words with the proverbial middle finger being the last act of defiance :)
Keep running in circles till your mana regens and try to cast again. If i am far enough ahead maybe just maybe i have about 10 sec to sit real quick mem a lower lvl spell that i know wont fizzle and start using that one, just enough to keep it distracted until i can figure which way to go and keep running.

Good observation my friend and I like your fighting spirit, I would go out the same way in a similar position! :D
