Locks do seem to have very high survivability, but if you're counting on 5 of the opponents being in the open and waiting for you to DoT them up, then it's not going to happen.
I imagine that with some decent setting up five warlocks would be pretty brutal: 1-2 fel guards (Stick on healer #1 or mean melee), 1-2 succubi (CC melee), 1 fel hunter (stick on healer #2) .. chances are healer #2 will be a druid, there will be a rogue. So set it up and with the fel guard get the charge/AOE off to mess them up as soon as possible with 1-2 Demo locks dropping hand of guldan on the target while your aff lock dots one up and maybe a destro or two lines up a chaos bolt... pray you pop one and can shift to the healer and then roll the dice and see if it happens. I could see trying to go for an instant kill but I really just don't think it is possible beyond a certain CR. WOW players and WOW CC abilities have gotten too good especially if they are sticking it out in Arena due to haveing to cap weekly and what not.
