Warlock is mainly the most suicidal class too. You are basically training with melee and pets. You only have cloth, and Soul Shards take space too...

I can easily tell you havn't done lock too much. I won't go much into detail, I'll just tell you some basics:
Demonology lock at lvl 50 can take about 5,500 damage w/ out trump card spells or pots. (Very rarely do you use even 1 trump card in a fair 1v1 pvp)
W/ trump cards and pots, about 9,500-10,500; This is insane. (Also, the heals for lock are instant to almost instant. Which is
extremely good for pvp)
Although a lock can only wear cloth, with void as summon he gets 10% physical resistance, and with soul link, 30% of ALL damage taken goes to the summon instead. Infact, I didn't even count those in for the general estimations above. So add about 500-750 to each one.
Also, locks are supposed to use wands not daggers/swords. They don't rely on melee at all, unless you're in a very strange circumstance or at start of game. And with their curses that can be casted
INSTANTLY in
ANY DIRECTION, you can run away while still causing good damage. Which is great for taking down ?? Warriors.
There are so many more things, I can easily go on.
Only major downsides to locks are the soul shards taking up inventory, and the skill required to use them. I have not met one person so far who uses lock to it's full potential. Hell, I don't even think I use it to it's full potential.
Side Note - I finally noticed you want alliance only. Lock is best for horde due to shamans. (Shamans can rape locks I hear, but since they're on our side, I don't need to worry about that) And it's also best to go undead for lock too, for various reasons.
