Vyndree,

How do you like playing 5 Warlocks? What level are they up to? What are your plans for them after you hit 80? I don't see too many people on here who 5-box locks, so I was curious. By the way, nice to meet you. :P I see you post all the time and you are always so helpful to anyone with questions.

Take Care,
4 locks and a priest -- I dropped the 5th lock so I can level the priest up as my "main" for raiding.

The locks are fun. I'd say they're not as great at shamans for PvP survivability, but man do their dots hurt. My first PvP anti-gank was at level 49 with 5 warlocks, killing a 70 druid. Once I hit northrend at 68, I haven't really had a ganking problem unless there are multiple high-levels. The priests' mass dispell is very handy for bubble-bomber paladins and I'd say it's a toss up of which I kill with more consistency -- paladins or DKs.

PvE, the pets are really poor for tanking. However, for most elite quests I utilize Felguards (I've also done Felhunters when all of them were aff) and when they pull aggro I just drain life tank the elite, since it's usually at about 1/2 health anyway, while healing with the priest. I find SL/FG to be the most ideal spec for my pull style -- I just siphon life mobs as I run and when I gather a nice chunk of mobs, I turn around to let the FGs cleave it to death and (now that I have SoC) aoe them to death if need be. Mana is never an issue -- life tap is bound to CoH on the priest.

In general, I'd say I prefer hunters as a pet class if you're focused on PvE -- the pets tank (aggro + mitigation) better, and hunters have good sustained DPS and aggro dumps. Warlocks are better for PvP, however, since they have Soul Link, mobility, and don't suffer from facing in order to shoot/cast.
