I have not tested it scientifically. I'll take a warlock's ability to survive over a mage's any day for sure. Much less of a glass cannon.
Warlocks who complain about mages doing more damage than them have never played mages, I think, or haven't played a mage since their overpowered stage in beta.
As it stands, warlocks have better single target damage, better crowd control, better DoT, comparable AoE, and useful tricks like summoning people, soulstones, and healthstones. I'd take a warlock over a mage in a party any time; the only thing warlocks can't do is conjure water.
By all means...fix the bugs. But warlock players who think their class is weak are simply delusional.

I don't feel the warlock is a weak class, though my first post would give that impression. It's all part of my mixing of revoicing and my opinions.
