Quoted from British Agent:
Quoted from Sandamnit:
I'm using my succubus and while she's more powerful than the voidwalker, after every single battle, I have to Health Funnel to her in order to keep her alive. I mean, it's just a minor nuisance, but she'll improve, I hope.

Engage Voidwalker (or Succy)
Immolate
Curse of Agony
Corruption
Wand them to death (and maybe throw in a Shadow Bolt every so often)
The problem is that you're just not killing the creeps fast enough. As a warlock, you should pretty much never ever be using your wand for anything but totem-killing, and finishing off a runner that has 3HP left (Unless you're a priest, priests get alot more usage out of wands). The only other purpose for wands is when you're Raiding and you use the wands to Proc Judgement of Wisdom for some free mana (N/A if you're Horde anyways).
Rather than using the wand, try Drain Life after Corruption on your list; if you time your Drain Life and Life Tap correctly, you should almost never have to drink again, just stock up on bandages.
My other question is what build are you going for?
Finally, people may have told you that the mount is free, and you only have to talk to some guy once to get it...
Well they're fucking liars, you have to talk to that guy TWICE; which incidentally is TWICE as hard as people lead you on to believe, so beware of that too.
My warlock is level 60, and I have half Affliction and half Demonology. I have Ruin and Shadow Burn, and enough into Affliction to get the good stuff from that tree. Mostly I wanted to have three instant cast dots, and be able to do more damage with my fire based spells. I have tons of HP and Mana, and can outlast a priest in a duel.
At level 60 you should be able to take out 5 mobs at once as long as they aren't elites.
I also use nothing but imp, unless the situation calls for it. Blood pact is too strong of an ability not to use. At level 60 it gives me 42 extra stamina, which is an assload of HP - plus it never draws aggro, which is nice. He is a life a free dot.
Usually when I enter a battle it goes something like...
Immolate - the reason you use this first is because it is the only dot you have with a casting time. Do it first... the initial damage from that spell also can't break fear because it comes first.
Fear
Corruption
Curse of Agony
Siphon Life
Drain Life
This should be doing massive amounts of damage, while leaving you free to fear the mob around, or apply dots to another mobs. Once everything around you is running and dying at the same time, feel free to lob shadowbolts at them to wear them down. It makes for intense moments sometimes, but its fun. It makes you tougher for PVP too.
Rather than filling it overfull, its better to stop in time.
Sharpen the blade to a point, but the edge won’t last forever.
Gold and jade may fill the house, but no one can retain them for eternity.
Boasting of wealth and virtue, brings trouble on oneself.
Reticence when the job is done, is the Way of heaven.
