Try to keep the person you’re fight feared at all times. Keep DOTS up and send your pet after them. Eventually they will die. Throw in a few attacks as well, it will only help kill them faster. Fear is a main reason why Warlocks are sooooo OverPowered! Use it to your advantage!
If by any chance you’re on the server Kil’Jaeden, send me a message over this and I can assist you in slaughtering the horde. =) haha

Here are some pointers. Hope this helps!
1-Always keep Detect Invisiblity buff on. Might not be powerful but its powerful enough it to see cloaked rogues about 10yards away in the front.
2-Always start off a battle with, Curse of Agony and Corruption. If you have talent points like I have distributed, both spells are instants.
3-Pets. I normally keep my Succubus out in contested areas, or sometimes my Voidwalker. Keep the Succubus cloaked all the time, most players unless they have some kind cloak detection, their cloak will help you get the drop. Seduction, use it only when either Silenced or Stunned, I know the curse damage will kill the seduction effect, but that few seconds can save you up to 4-600 hp. Voidwalker Shield, great to use to cast longer spells or to use drain life or to get fear out.
4-You should have enough health or ways of getting health to make you go toe to toe with same level players(and possibly 1 or 2 lvls higher). Stamina and Intellect are your goals in armor. I still have lvl 43gloves and bracers, only cause I cant find good enough ones to replace them with, +13 Stamina +8 Intellect gloves, +14 stamina +8Intellect bracers. Sure armor would be nice but Ill sacrifice a little armor for health and mana.
5-Soulstones. Always keep one on you. If you die, rez right away and get some distance. Hopefully when you died, the other player will have little health and/or mana. Giving you an edge, cause you’ll rez with more health and mana in most cases. Waiting around for them to leave is not a good idea. Since everyone knows you can rez, they just heal up and get you when you do.
6- Healing. Healthstones area a must! Potions are a must! this gives you 2 quick ways to heal without wasting mana. Healthstone first at the first 800 points lost. Save your potion when your at half health. If I have the upper hand in health, I would use Death Coil then tap that for extra mana. Or as a quick finisher.
7- Lifetap. Im really not a big fan of using this in the middle of a PvP battle, so I keep a stack mana potions just incase. Use this if you know your going to win and you need the little extra mana to finish him off. Jduge how the battle is going, mana potion vs health potion use your best judgement
8-Curses that reduce resistance. A no no in PvP. You sacrifice your biggest DoT spell. Curse of Agony…
9-As a Warlock, keep a few resistance potions with you. I normally enter a fight with an all resistance potion already buff’d on me and have either a nature or shadow resistance potion handy. If your going to use use a resistance potion use it now at the beginning of a battle rather than later and lose the opportunity to use a needed health potion.
10. Fear and Howl of Terror. Use wisely, since the 1.4 patch the overall effect in casting multiple times becomes less and less to a point where there immune. So try and make your spell casting count.

I would roll affliction…
With destruction you need to have the gear and the mana pool to be effective.. Sure you nuke the crap out of one target but then what? Ur stuck with no mana… and a crap load of hordies on ur tail..
It would befenit you in the long run too.. Drain Life is increased.. Dots hit harder.. Ez Mode.. Just dot your enemies up and move out of range.. You can watch them die while they scamper away… In big pack fights try to stay hidden.. WSG hit the bushes.. dot everything with as much as you can.. Good luck..
