Warlock build for a duo with a priest

[Kevin]

One idea that I think could be interesting is to go the Demonologist route with your warlock.  That will give you more powerful pets and the ability to summon them more quickly and efficiently.  In addition, Demonology gives ways to reduce the threat against you or increase your damage by 10%.  If you could get the priest to lay off the mind blasts and use mind flay, instead, the Voidwalker or Succubus could probably do an ok job tanking for you guys. 

To that end, either this or this build would be a possibility.  I'm not sure this will do better than a Shadow Mastery/Ruin build for you when duoing with a Shadow Priest, but it would certainly be a more interesting and less-used road to take the Warlock.

OK so maybe I need to change my build that is duoing with the mage because those are very similar builds to what I'm thinking about doing for him.

And yes I'm positive that voidy will be a good tank for the priest/lock duo if I improve since right now the imp voidy at L30 holds 3 to 4 mobs through Rain of Fire/Blizzard/Arcane Explosion.

But then again I like to have the mobs that are being hit by AoE tanked and not kite them which seems to be different than many other people who AoE so maybe that is the problem. :)

But since lots of people seem to suggest the demonolgy build for this duo (when I was thinking that when I wanted to AoE I had a priest to heal me so I didn't need to worry about self buffing for AoE) maybe I'm just not seeing how the game past 30-40 is going to work as well as I thought.

So if that is the case, so I don't end up with two demonology builds. What would you duo with a frost mage if you were a warlock duoing with a frost mage. :)


Edit: And I do see that the mage/lock duo would have more CC option to eliminate mobs if they wanted to blast single target stuff than the priest/lock so I can see why it could be easier for them to have the weaker tank set. But with a priest to heal if things go bad vs no healer on the lock/mage it just seems that less tanking should be needed.
