Shadowburn is a strong spell spell, but once you get shadowflame it becomes relatively situational.
Felguards are really strong and help alot against "skillcloak" rogues that just jump on you from stealth. Also the silence move from your felhunters is basically negated from the felguards charge stun that has very similar effect on casters and melee.
Of course, fell free to test how does shadowburn work for your playstyle. The good about locks is that they are so versatile when changing builds that you can play completely different playstyles just by changing several talents.
Personally I prefer the dot and lol playstyle instead of the oneshoting nuke.
The best you can do is just try it and see if you like it... not that you will go bankrupt on respecs.
In any case, humans or undead are the best choices for warlocks. Humans for the funky racial or undead for the free antifear trinket and cannibalize. Don't roll gnomes. They are the worst race for locks because their racial sucks and they get no bonuses at all. Orcs get at least some extra punch on the pets.
