Rebalance the Warlock

[Lissa]

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.

You can't get rid of the Deathcoil fear with a trinket, WotF, etc. The problem is, 3 seconds just isn't enough time for an escape ability. An escape ability needs to give you a way to get some serious distance and 3 second fear won't do that.

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. 

Best solution for shards is to get rid of them or at minimum, not require them for damage spells.

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.

I think Warlock talents are fine as they are right now. I don't think we need any serious changes on talents or talents added. What we need is things changed around directly, either new spells or spells made more effective.
