Blue post on lava burst and lightning damage

"(Remember they benefit from Curse of the Elements and similar spells now.)"

So, our damage is being limited based on having a warlock in the party? I'm confused. I thought that the point of a lot of these cross buff stacking nerfs was to encourage people to not HAVE to have a particular class in group/raid to be effective. This seems somewhat counterintuitive to me.

Yes, a warlock, a druid or a DK (Ebon Plaguebringer, Earth and Moon, Curse of the Elements). And you're right, it does seem counterintuitive requiring either a warlock, a balance druid or an unholy knight to do full damage, but I guess the same is true for other spell dps classes.
