I have a Pally, Lock * 3, Shammy team, and then a Pally, 2xMage, Lock, Priest team

I don't even know what I would do without the Warlock - but oddly enough my 2x mage team does better than my all lock team.


Destro Lock is the way to go - you still get 2 instant and 1 cast DoT (and Improved Corruption and Bane are low enough to get for Destro) but you also get Improved Immolate for some truly lovely DoT damage.

DoTs are uber for grinding/leveling. My 3 lock team doesn't even fight non-elites. I just run into the area and start tab spamming Corruption/Agony on every quest mob I need to kill - run in a big circle always tabing and spamming the next one, and then stop to loot.

The other thing to note - Glyph of Voidwalker doesn't really make you miss out on a DPS glyph ... so even going Destro your VW can still take some damage and OT for you. My BRC strat on the second boss uses VW tanking to keep me alive instead of having to do some nasty dancing. Very helpful!
