This is a difficult question to answer, as while there are plenty of good DC items to buy, deciding which ones are best for you entirely depends on your playstyle and personal preference, for the most part, and whether you're interested in farming for (or already have) grindy and hard-to-acquire items such as the Defender's set and/or Inn at the Edge of Time rewards. However, here are some items that all players (with enough DCs to spare) should have;
a) House Items: You mentioned you have a lot of house items already, but without knowing which ones, I will suggest the most important ones anyway. At 1,000 DCs, the Armor Closet is your #1 most important purchase; access and save any armor you own in one place, and even access exclusive armors only available in the closet. Next would be the Storybook Collection, available for 5,000 DCs year-around, or 2,500 DCs during Black Fridays; replay any of the main 5 holiday events at any time, including access to seasonal rare items (this will be relevant later!). Save some time and buy the Vault and Clyde the Stats Moglin for easy gear swapping and stat retraining without having to head to South Falconreach each time; coupled with the Armor Closet, this trio allows you to set up a new build for any fight very quickly.
b) Chaosweaver Armor: Providing you're up-to-date with the main story (or are at least up-to-date with Book 3 Ravenloss) you can buy this powerful class. Very bursty, great for casual questing and plenty of Inn at the Edge of Time challenges alike (especially AARGH), while there are plenty of DC Armors you may wish to try, Chaosweaver is highly recommended.
c) Lucky Hammer: Seeing as you're a Mage, you should already have plenty of INT stat points, which also increase the damage of your crits. Providing you have the Storybook Collection (I mentioned this would be relevant, right?), you can buy this weapon from Lucky Day 2016 event, and it will increase the damage of your crits by a further 10%. You can also just show this weapon over any other weapon and receive the crit bonus. Combine this with the Chaosweaver Armor also mentioned earlier, which has a base crit damage multiplier of 1.85 instead of the typical 1.75, and you can do a lot of damage on critical hits.
d) Fierce DragonLord Helm: Despite being only Level 72, this helm's amazing All +10 stat makes it one of the best defensive helms around; definitely worth having in your inventory for some of the tougher Inn at the Edge of Time challenges to reduce damage taken.
There are plenty of other useful DC items, but these are some of the most general ones that any player can benefit from, no matter their playstyle. Without seeing your character page and knowing what items you have and don't have makes it a little harder to suggest things, so hopefully this gives you some idea of where to go from here.
