Need some help: New to warlock and need advice

[xxBLIZZxx]

Ive read a lot and Im so far away from a raid setup at this point. I've seen the benefit of my warlock being a great farmer for drops when I combine him with my fury.About my toon... Dark Elf lvl 24... have not picked my 24 M2.. and Im more than willing to respec AASome questions... 1. Is a fury the best healer to mix with my warlock2. Whats the best setup for a warlock to be an AOE specialist3. What gear should I be focusing on4. I want to build this toon primarily for dropping large groups of junk, single arrows and smaller Im guessing at this point. So what tips or pointers could you give me to make it as efficent as possible?I guess Im just looking for direction at this point and from the posts Ive read you guys really know your stuff!Thanks so much for all your help!

<p>1.  Totally subjective.  You should be good with any healer.  I like Defilers, because their disease works well with our debuff.</p><p>2.  Press the create button and you will have a great AoE setup.  Really, you can't go wrong for AoE with a Warlock.</p><p>3.  Spell Upgrades</p><p>4.  You will be able to drop group encounters, no problem.  The biggest hurdle with a warlock is pulling hate.  Find yourself a good fighter.</p>
