I do play a lock. He's still in his 20's but the game is easy. It's more to manage but it isn't hard to do and it adds a ton of power.
AoE: Let a mage start first or have a good warrior or two and you get hit late or not at all. In 10 man raids there will be a mage around. In 5 man you might not get to AoE as much. Oh well.
Aggro: Yep you have to worry about aggro, not that hard to figure out if you have some patience. My lock tanks for me and a mage, we generally try to have 4+ mobs around with the VW tanking it and we AoE, and yes a VW, like a hunter pet can tank 3+ mobs at once.
Yes high damage and high utility take prep, but in PvE you have the time to do it most of the time.
No arguments that it can be frustrating, but that does not win the argument that played well, and many people can play them well, that they are the most poweful PvE class in the game.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
