I guess the reasons i switched to felpup were threefold: 1) the succubus kept dying quickly, 2) the defensive dispels were invaluable against mage teams, and 3) my partner kept bugging the crap out of me.

But yeah, given good coordination, succubus is money. In particular, a seduce/force trinket/blind combo is very powerful, and can even force a bubble early in the match if you pressure the target enough. (fyi: If you do this, you want to switch pally after bubble and cc the initial target). Also, i found that the glyph was very useful while running succubus, because there's a lot of target-switching involved with double-dps comps, and often one would still be dotted up when we switched back. But yeah, i totally agree that succubus has its place.

After i'm able to create threads, i'll probably end up writing some sort of guide. I mean, look, i'm not that awesome, and i'm still learning a ton. If you want really hardcore arena advice, arenajunkies.com is the way to go. But i've done my research, and haven't really found an updated guide specifically for warlock arena-ing. If anybody feels like collaborating, that could be a good time hit me up in-game (khyrron on khaz modan) or drop a message. It'd be fun, and help the warlock community, as it were.

Edit: I meant i agree with your post, not agree with the compliment :p
edit #2: Okay, i agree with your compliment too, but i didn't mean it that wa...gah, you know what i'm saying.

Anyways, I am currently using the voidwalker as my pet since i thought its shield would help me live longer so I do my DPSing while my mage partner CCs and slows down our opponents. We have had alot of problems with stealth teams, is the VW's consume shadows the answer to this? I initially dismissed this ability since it can't be used in combat but am I considered in combat at the start of a match or when both opponents are stealthed?

I also went with conflagrate, shadowflame and voidwalker glyphs. I wasnt sure about the VW but figured a 20% boost to STA would give me a bigger shield. I read on arenajunies that corruption was a must have glyph for all specs for the nightfall proc but I think the post was old, is it still widely used?

What I love about it is the (admittedly outdated) strategy guides; if you read through them all, they really give some good information on the general principles of target selection for various team makeups.
