After doing this myself, definitely go all affliction at the very minimum up to pandemic and instant howl of terror. Shadow on the priest with the mana efficiency talent and the 20% mana reduction SW:P glyph. Then, just run through fields of mobs using 1x SW:P plus 4x corruption on each mob, wait until you have 5-10 dotted, then use 2 aoe fears one after the other and watch as all 10 mobs die in about 12 seconds.

Demonology spec for a warlock is less maintenance then Affliction.
By that I mean, with fewer keystrokes you're closer to your optimal effectiveness.

But as suggested above me, Affliction will level faster then anything else.
Everyone has instant Corruption now. Combine this with instant Agony, instant Siphon Life.

With a single warlock farming affliction spec, I had a castsequence macro for Corruption/Agony/Siphon.
Never stopping my movement, just targeted a mob and clicked the button three times.
And kept running along. Made the deal with my roommate to fun behind me and loot the corpses.
He could not keep up, and the mobs were only 1-2 levels below me at the time.
I was running warlock (me) and warrior (him) in the party, with my holy priest out of it.
The only thing the priest did was heal my lifetaps when I was low on mana.

Running four locks would be pretty sick.
You'd have UA, Haunt, Agony, Corruption, Siphon Life (x4) along with 4x single fear.
You have 4 warlock and 1 priest AoE fear.
For tougher mobs, two dots each... Corruption/Agony and SW:Pain/Devouring Plague.
For most mobs, one dot from each toon.
Mana won't be much of an issue for your team; one or two dots each is very little.

I like the idea of 4x Felguards in an instance.
The Improved Health Funnel talent, in conjunction with the Health Funnel Glyph is OP...
Even if the solo-lock Health Funnel is very much weaker then the solo-hunter Mend Pet mechanic.
A guy posted on these forums how he instanced entirely with 4x Demo Lock team, 61-66 in Ramparts/Furnace/S.Pens/M.Tombs.
It's a pretty sick combination... and that was 4-box without a healer.

been running 3 warlock affliction specced and a shammy to heal on occasion there only level 24
I send in the voids before they even get to the target cast coa and corruption target something else send in voids cast ...
lifetap then when the get low heal em up and keep going.

I'm pretty sure just about anything yer level will drop in a hurry with just coa/curruption
unless its an elite or really high red its not gonna survive long enough for yeh to cast all them spells :p

im currently running this setup myself and i went 4 demonology warlocks and 1 holy priest with a few points in discipline for reduced threat. Its been working out VERY well for me, typicaly i send in 4 felguards instant corruption and wand and the mobs die within probably the first 2-3 wand shots.

Im going to be twinking out this current team for 60-69 bracket and will most likely go affliction once i start to pvp
