Succubus - Soothing Kiss

This could be your problem.  Why aren't you pulling with the Voidwalker?  There are some situations where this isn't viable, of course - where moving the VW in would attract too much attention from surrounding mobs - but typically you want to let ol' Voidy go in FIRST and be the first thing your enemy sees.

I'm a "Voidwalker for life" Warlock player, because I love the almost 0% downtime I get using one.  It allows me to go from mob to mob to mob, even if it's a bit of a slow kill.

I'm also a "Voidwalker for life" warlock, but I don't think there's a problem pulling with corruption and CoA. I pull with immolate, then fire off CoA and corruption and don't have the issues that Redinter was having. A shadowbolt will almost always grab aggro, especially as early as it sounds like it is going off, and shadowbolts are best used late on the tail end of things while soloing. At least, that's what my experience has taught me.

It's not that there is any one thing that we can point out is wrong. Your suggestion would help by getting more torments fired off sooner, but there are numerous ways to address this issue. Fighting with the voidwalker is a complex (yet beautiful [sniff]) dance between you, your voidwalker, and the mob. Experience gives you a great feel what you can and can't do in the dance. Bolty's dance is different than mine, and both work, but right now Redinter and his voidy are still stepping on each other's toes.

Redinter could start with the voidwalker as you suggested, OR, he could use different spells/skills, OR, just adjust the timing of what spells he currently uses, OR, use a combination of everything. There are many ways to correct this, but he needs to learn how he and his voidy work best together, or it may be that he simply prefers to use another pet.
