You'd be surpirsed the number of times you struggle to find the 2 (Curse of Elements and Curse of Weakness/Recklessness) warlocks that every raid really needs.
Patchwerk is the benchmark DPS boss right now and, for a variety of reasons, fury warrior, rogue and mage DPS fully buffed going all out for 5 minutes tend to hover at 600-ish. Hunter is just over 400. Warlock is just under 400. Obviously this depends on gear to some extent, but all the distributions seem to be in that range. In my opinion, what a warlock loses in damage he more than makes up for in summons, healthstones, soulstones and knowing when and what to curse.
Hunters' lacking DPS on patchwerk is largely a function of the fact that we lack many AP buffs that rogues can get. We're pretty much stuck with mongoose pots and blasted lands agi buff and consecrated sharpening stones if we're lucky enough to have one. Rogues can stack mongoose, giant growth, firewater, juju strength, blasted lands buff (if they wanted), battle shout and elemental sharpening stones. Our fully juiced AP isn't a massive increase. Their fully juiced AP goes WAY up. I'd be lying if I had any idea why hunters get the shaft in this department.
