Three things here:
1) Doesn't Seal of Fury hold more aggro even without judging it? I can't recall. Paladin experience is light for me, only having played one to 22 now.
2) A Warlock's pet does not count for aggro against the Warlock. The Warlock and its pet are both separate entities in terms of aggro. This is one of the main reasons why Blizzard does not recommend Warlocks for newbies to MMOs - because they force you to learn aggro control from a very early age, and they force you the hard way. That's what the Voidwalker is, after all - an aggro inducer that does no real damage; it just tanks things for the Warlock.
The exception to this is that if the Warlock's pet dies, the aggro the pet had will then transfer to the Warlock. This is not good for the Warlock.
3) If Boltie steals aggro from you, it's Boltie's fault, not yours. Either I'm doing it because I figure it doesn't matter due to the fact that we'll kill it so fast, it doesn't matter because I can fear it without it bringing more adds, it doesn't matter because I have so many hit points, or I just plain got aggro when I shouldn't have. You are correct that at this point, if I didn't hold back any it would be damn near impossible for you to hold aggro due to my Destruction talent build. I have a general idea as to how much I can wail without getting aggro, and it's not your job to make up for me going over my limit. Well, not to say you shouldn't work to save my rear, just saying that you shouldn't blame yourself for having to do so!
Now, if you were TAL and I got aggro, it would be because I wanted to in order to watch Tal run around like a ninny trying to get it back. This is because I know Tal enjoys showing me that I can't keep aggro even if I want to, and enjoyed proving it at times when my Priest went Mind Blasting. Then Tal would whip out his Seal of Fury, slap a Blessing of Salvation on me, and whoop in glee when he got the mob's attention back again. But that's another story.
