hmmm - rerolling for pwning not a good idea - anyone/class with the smarts and drive can do some major pwnage, it's both a matter of style and flexibility for situations.

Hunter to 'lock can be ok - but figure 2x the complexity and a lot squishier. 'locks are only able to do a few AOE spells - most used spells are curses and DoT's. This causes your tactics to be much more of a 'the last man standing'(infantry) vs 'hit hard and fast and run' (guerilla warface). If you try hunter tactics with a 'lock, you're gonna get pwned.

With my 21 'lock I have 2 major patterns of a fight:
1 on 1 - Demon attack, Curse of Agony (near instant), Corruption, Immolate, If using Imp it need's health by now so throw searing pain 2x to draw aggro, fear, Health Funnel, - wait, if does short fear (resists): hit with Wand or Shadow Bolt lvl2 then Wand till dead.

1 on many - Fear 1 one, CoA next, Corruption next, Coa 3rd, Corruption 2nd, if 1st not back yet, Immolate 2nd, Demon has been attacking #1 or 2, have attack 3, I finish #1 (will be back now) with shadow bolt 3, add searing pain to #2, Immolate 3, fear 2, wand 3 - demon attack 2 if comes back.

The point of my attacks is to use my cheap in mana Dot's to do most damage, use aggro attacks to balance damage to me or demon, and to use fear to my advantage. A warlock has to a very good sense of battle timing, since most of your spells are based on time, you must control how you act. IF you don't use a similiar system under lvl 20 (DoT start, Heavy Blast, Wand/Physical) you are wasting mana and life.

Just be careful and consider yourself expendable in instances. Be sure to Soul Stone and Health Stone as much as possible - soul shards are useful but not important till ~18+.

Best of luck.
