Locks dps while leveling

[Ughmahedhurtz]

I have a x3 shammy team at 38 and a x3 lock team at 24 right now. Working on the upgrade to five box. Have some pally/priest & shammy/shammy i am also working on.

Seems the locks really tear it up more than the shammy so far at the same level. Did i play the shammy not as well, do things change at higher levels or do the locks just really destro a bit better leveling than the shammy? The locks can use the imp and sb or i have also taken out the vw and sent the vw in against three different mobs while i dot up all three mobs and then move on to dotting up another mob waiting for the first vw to get back. With the locks it is nonstop wrecking. It takes as long to loot all the corpses.

Maybe some of it has to do with the great mana efficiency locks have.

Shammys were fun for their ability to take out mobs 9 levels higher, but that was really slow and not worth it more than once or twice for fun.

Consider that, while leveling, pets generate a LOT more effect than at the later levels. I.e.: it's a false positive. Once your shammy and lock spell damage passes the 5-600 range, the pets become a non-entity in terms of overall damage. The exception is 4+ demon-spec felguards chewing on a caster or rogue.
