Rebalance the Warlock

[q4m]

While the improved deathcoil will be nice, it makes deathcoil unusable in many, many situations now. You sure as hell don't want to fear something in an instance, for example. With fear attached to deathcoil, it becomes almost completely useless outside of pvp, which is a bummer.

Also, a short duration fear doesn't help a lot. For example, rogue hits you, you death coil them, they use trinket, you're dead.

I really think the idea of soul shards is cool, but they are a gigantic problem. I think a "shard bag" is a step in the right direction, but I really fear it will be say 20 slots and take a bag spot. Making shards stackable would help inventory management, but we'd still end up having to farm them. I really like the idea of removing the shard requirement from damage spells. Our damage spells w/a shard requirement are not impressive enough to require a shard.

Mages have a talent that gives 100% chace to crit (I forgot what it's called). Why not give warlocks something like that and require a shard for it? Something like that might be worth using a shard for. Another idea I've been thinking might help w/defense. Give warlocks a skill/talent that requires a shard and makes the next spell instant cast. Both of these would obviously have to require a decent cooldown time.
