This Thing You Call Aggro.

Why do I do it?  I get bored :)  Most mobs can be taken down within 5

Yep, and if its a stunnable mob, GG. Let the rogues do their stunlock thing if they want to. If they have good judgement, it won't be against 1-hit KO mobs, or aoe caster mobs. Against a normal caster, fine, but not a priority target such as firebrand evokers in LBRS. Those need to be CC'ed or taken out immediately. Against something like elite dragonkin however, they'll do just fine on their own if they want to.

I like rogues who gouge enemies if they come too close to the priest. I don't like if they're just skilled enough to stun, but not experienced to turn around before popping a sheep / charm CC option afterward. I hate hunter pets much in the same fashion. Only send pets when things get desperate, and then only do one hit for aggro steal while on passive and switch back targets to main.

Hmm. Seeing priests turn rogue and mage... and warriors turn other class... I see why I'm loved as a warlock by priests. I have a number of 'save the priest' save the day tricks. Charm, fear, aggro theft via pet or spells, banish (if applicable), healthstone (if the priest ever remembers), soulstone.

I love when healers are smart enough to heal my demon pet (except enslaved demons and imp, he doesn't need to be healed--can remain out of battle). Healing pet = healing me in the case of soul link. I feel my demons are an extension of me. Especially succubi. If the succubus is neglected, then the once charmed and controlled enemy is now going to go after the healer. Wipe incoming. This is also why I hate people who don't wait for recharm and attack my charmed targets.

I find warlocks (and hunters) are in a natural position for tactical calls. Everyone else is busy focused on their respective health bars, friendly or enemy, while the warlock watches the entire battle shifting from target to target, always watchful of CC and all target debuffs.
