After having played the warlock for 36 levels, I must say the pet i mostly use is the Succubus. She may not tank as well as the voidwalker, but does a lot more damage, thus reducing the time spent on a mob and thus the tanking time.
I noticed my Voidwalker never taunted well enough, so I end having the mob attacking me instead, even if I control the aggro I build up. The succubus also handles adds better if they are humanoid (seduce). The only advantage I find in the voidwalker is sacrifice, which can buy you enough time to do something if the pet is likely to die.
I find her very good for solo and party play, as a warrior will usually tank, and what the party need is damage and control which she provides.
For solo playing, I learned to control my aggro, so that the succubus tanks a while and when the mobs life is halved, it change target to attack me. With drain life i can tank the last half of his life pretty well.
This tactic has served me well, my best triumph was a fight against a 2 level higher elite, which I soloed and won.
I'm very happy with my warlock and barely have downtime between fights, while fighting mobs my level.
Edit: I play on Final Beta EN 2, so I can only talk about the european server
