i have a 44 Affliction Warlock that loves melee. Use a voidwalker for the tank. CoA, Corruption, Immolate for every fight then run up and whack the heck out of them. Use CoR near the end if fighting humanoids that run when low on HP. I hardly ever draw aggro...maybe just a bit near the end. I have a very nice staff with stat increases and crit up to 180 most of the time. Nightfall rocks for those Shadow bolts...nearly one every mob on average.
I also tailored up a set of dreamweave armor and do like +30-50 shadow damage and maybe around +20 to fire damage. I call her my meleemancer...he he.
I find the order of spells to be very important. If you cast Immolate first that initial damage is very high threat and a bad idea. If I pull with CoA then sic the void on mob then Corruption then Immolate, by the time it has fired, the void has built up pretty good aggro.
