What is a Warlock's role in groups? Also, are they "the best" at anything in groups? Thanks!

They're great at debufs, Dots (take that Ony! No deep breath for you!) and with their imp's aura a nice Stam buff.

They are tons of fun in instances, and solo. They are almost like the toolboxes of raids and instances, because they have so many little useful abilities and details all packed into one thing.

One of the most multi-faceted classes you'll find.

Imp for Stamina buff.

Soulstones for saving the raid should something go wrong.

Summoning for people that come into the instance late.

High DPS and AoE spells; not to mention DoTs.

The ability to banish and/or enslave demons and elementals.

Ability to drain mana (can really limit what some bosses can do).

Healthstones (who wouldn't want free healing devices that can be passed around)

Voidwalkers (and now Fel Guards) can be used to off-tank in certain situations.

Make one... have fun... I know I love playing mine.

And two fear spells.. An AoE fear with low duration and a single target fear with good time duration. They rule at PvP/BGs. In a group, his fear can help alot, like the mage's polymorph or rogue's sap.

1)They are best at damage over time spells.
2)As party members they are fillers usually, not main tanks, not main healers, and not main dpsers, but very important fillers IMHO. They can choose theyr pet according to what the party needs most, void for more tanking(usually partys with only one tank, but even partys with to tanks that are not ideal tanks like low level one and/or not very skilled ones), succy for more dps(party with good tanks but low on rogues and mages), imp for more buffs(very good in a party with already a warrior, a priest, a rouge/mage and a paladin/shaman/druid that does tanking or dps as needed), since imp job is to buff it is more usueful in a 5 man party, so if you are going in less usually you will not prefer him to the other pets . They will make healthstones for everyone that are similar to potions but with separate cooldown and can place a soolstone on partys preist/shaman/paladin so that if he dies can come back and reiz all the party. The dots wont shine to much on damage meters since a lot of enemyes will die before they are fully used but will be precious for bosses letting you make a good over all damage without risking to take aggro off main tank and without getting your mana low how cuold happen with a mage. Remeber that your crowdcontrol spell fear should never be used in an instance.
3)usually you will be able to aford for a good price a 20slots soulbag and that will be very good to bring full when you begin an instance.Remember to wand, after using your dots most of the times its not worth siking your mana and taking aggro by spamming shadow bolts, so its better to wand off something than just doing nothing.
