Seed of corruption should not be used unless they are all on your pet... even then it is a pain.

I use to do a similar thing with my warlock in AV (to take the mines) and farming lower level instances. Basically being sl/sl helps a ton, but you run straight down the middle, putting CoA and siphon life on everything. Siphon life will be more than enough healing, because the more mobs you have, the more you get healed. With my s3 warlock, those 2 spells were enough to kill pretty much anything I was farming, throw in a corruption in that rotation if you have to, just make sure siphone life goes on everything.
My tactic with lvl 70 lock is .... Seed of corruption. My lock is crappy and siphon + CoA is doing to slow to make it fast. So I went with some kind of sl/sl build and did that way:
pulled 7-10 mobs with my Void, and then put seed on last mob taken by void, while casting i switch target and put void on that target to taunt mob right after first SoC i cast another one on taunted mob, then another one. With my crappy gear (quests only) i manage to cast 3 sometimes 4 SoCs, and thats enough to take group down.
Its tricky, and I died few times.
Main problems:
Void moved after I ordered him to switch target so mobs moved and I LoSed them and cant be fast enough with SoCs. After first boom there isn't two another and mobs are angry. Sometime aoe taunt helps.
Gathered too much and reached aoe cap and some mobs still alive. Not big deal, siphon helps in these situations.
Can't take all mobs after doors. I'm clearing front of Morgaine, then right side with optional boss. Then I aggro Morgaine with void, before mobs come I put seed on boss then fast switching target.


But the main problem is XP. It takes me up to 2 hours of max concentration to lvl. Not much considering I can't use RAF (Poland sucks) and it was draining me. Did only 24-28 and went to questing with follow on warlock. Dinged 30 and got mount, now I can quest fast with decent guide.

With RAF I think this tactic with SoC will be viable.
