There is the tap level phase, and then there is the "support group" phase.

Warlock won't work great for the support group phase, which is going to be levels 1-44 or so.

Here is how it works. You take your high level, and you run your high level through mobs. You do zero damage. Warlock simply won't work for this, as it has no way to generate threat without doing damage that I am aware of. If you had say a paladin. You take the paladin, run through dozens of mobs. You heal the lowbies who are not grouped with you. Then you stand there with the paladin, and you self heal while taking damage. All the mobs become glued to the paladin. Then you aoe them all down with your group.

You can tap level for full XP, IF the high level killing mobs, could otherwise get xp from the mob it is killing for your low level. This means, say a 42 player can "tap" a level 48 mob, and because 48 is the lowest level mob that a level 60 could theoretically get XP from, it means the 60 doesn't steal any XP from the mob when the 60 kills the mob.

The low level does at minimum 1 point of damage. The high level kills the mob. The low level gets all the XP. Using a high level tank/healer that can generate threat without doing damage allows you to secure threat, while your low levels kill the mobs with aoe with relative impunity. Later, when the mobs you're killing are high enough for a 60 to get xp, the 60s can then participate in killing once the low levels do damage first. The high level(s) are out of group, or in their own group. The low level(s) are in their own group as well.

Hope this explains it.
