I agree with Drasca, to duo with a priest, a heavy affliction build is a good way to go. You will likely draintank your way through the lower levels. Thats the way I went with my lock, while leveling him up, I duoed a lot with a priest and it went really smooth, almost no cooldown and we could easily take mobs above our level, even elite ones. the possibility to draintank, gives you the ability to tank some mobs, while using succubus or imp for extra dps. Dark pact wil help immensely, to keep the cooldown almost at 0, even if the priest goes oom, you can then kill a few until his mana is back up.
Instant DoTs and fearkiting will help you kill that hard hitting elite mob.
This build would be a nice affliction one, while spreading a bit over the first talents of the other trees. Swap suppresion for CoEx, if you are on a pvp server, I personally dont find much use on CoEx on PvE. Remember when you fear kite mobs, that the priest will probably slow them down, or just keep the leash area clear of adds.(When fearing, the mobs will neve go farther away than a specific radius around you, I don't know exactly how big it is, but seems to be around 40y.)
