No worries Jason.

Soon this pally will learn just how powerful warlocks are. As for your strategy, I would suggest not starting off with double curses as you can only have one curse at a time on any single mob/player. Personally I like to start off with Curse of Shadows and Seduction. then Blast them with a shadow bolt at max range followed by fear. Load em up with all to dots you got (Curse of Agony, Immolate, and Corruption at your level / spec i believe) and either drain life or spam Shadow bolts until fear expires, then repeat.

Remember that Fear is now shorter, and subject to diminishing returns, making you only get 3 fears each one shorter than the last. I believe the max length you get on fear 1 is 12 seconds. then 8 and 6 (someone correct me if i'm wrong on that). So its good to keep a count in your head so that you do not encounter immune and have wasted time that could have gone for a nice shadow bolt or searing pain.

Next time I'm sure you'll get him.
