In PvP, standing in place for a hunter = dead.

On the second statement, I agree completely. On the first, I've dueled good hunters. They can freeze trap me, or FD/FT almost instantly if I'm near, and then run to max distance for an aimed shot. They know when to keep the pet on attack or on defense to utlize this.
Lissa's right about the felhunter. Succubus is really only great if you're Demon specced, possibly with points in Improved LoP (no talents to boost felhunter signifigantly), then she does sickening damage solo.
The felhunter will, however, eat up your dots, eat your shields (and other costly Priest buffs), interrupt your spell casts, SILENCE (New locks have it so easy with this silence that finally comes), and here's a secret: felhunters share their resistence with the warlock if he's Soul Link specced. Resistence is a lot less useful, but soul linkers are still positively demonic when faced against magic damage.
In patches long ago, a warlock lived or died on how well he could manage his pet, gauge his distance, and times his fears (the one real interrupt). It was even possible to beat a priest with an Imp, given certain circumstances. With the new toys, felhunter silence and death coil fear, it has become easier, but timing is still everything.
Priests/Druids/Cleanse: I hate your dispel/cleanse, its always cost too low (50 mana), always too easy to cast (instants) and thus became the ONE RIGHT ANSWER against everything. At one point, you could dispel enslave and soul link easily. These should not be considered dispellable magic (I think SL is currently a dispellable aura on the pet -- I am not sure). I'm glad your mana cost for these spells were upped.
RTM, Siphon is magic, thus dispellable.
Warriors, never use last stand in front of a warlock. He'll fear and chomp you. Not that you usually need it, unless ganked with 2 shadowbolts from 30 yards away-- certain locks hunt certain hated warriors in open PvP areas and their healbots in plate.
