Variety And synergy.

Don't forget that warlocks DO have instant cast spells. Plus, they also have pets (pseudotanks).

I don't plan on doing A LOT of 10 man PvP - but 4 more mages would be kinda boring Not that I disagree with you that mages and warlocks kill in opposite ways.

Plus, I want 2 differing 5 man teams - I suspect that warlocks in this configuration would be terribly strong.

Who knows, maybe I will level up a mage team and a warlock team, so I can do both

8 Mages.... I don't even want to think about how much hurt that would bring down. I suspect 8x Fire Blasts might kill a level 70. Lets not even start on 8x blastwaves.
