Spec Stamina/Agi in the KoS tree, and spec Hastenings/Explosives in the Warlock tree. Always carry Freedom of Mind potions(use the level 30 ones, they work no different then their t7 counterparts, and typically cost 50s or less) and Freedom of Action(see not on FoM) potions. Make a macro for crouch/walk mode, use it when feared and only use Freedom of Action if you are going to get feared off a ledge or into aggro mobs. Roll with a warden, and a guardian if you can find one, you will live much longer that way. In group on group fights, only use your AEs unless you have a smart Main Assist in the group, constantly spamming every AE and use your 2 dehates because they interrupt and cause target loss for all targets. Work on defensive gear, pvp fights don't last long and proc gear is really unnecessary from a dps standpoint. Get the Cazik-Thule deity cloak, the fear proc goes off a lot. Gear: Get the pvp gear, spend your evenings farming botters and the tokens rack up fast. Buy the pieces you need to upgrade the most first, but i would start with gloves/boots/cuffs since they have good effects on them and are the cheapest cost. Get Enspelled Vultak Eyes(sp) because their ward is really sweet. Claymore rewards are good, but EoF collection jewelery is nearly unbeatable for the non-raiding warlock(and on pvp, raiding is a drag, so long as you aren't on Vox). That should be more than enough to get you started. In a 1v1, never cast Manashield until after Nullmail triggers, unless you are fighting an assassin and he gets you below 50 before he uses Decap, otherwise you wont get a chance to cast it. Heal proc items are uber in pvp(Wand of Second Life, etc) as well as any ward proc you can find(robe from nest). Other than that, learn your enemies and the intricacies of their classes. The key to victory in pvp is to know more than your enemy. Know his spells, know when he uses them, and always be prepared to counter them, and when you fight a healer don't use Focussed Casting until he feels confident enough to let you get his health to 50%, otherwise he will just heal thru it. Also, use every pvp item at your disposal(read: Pumice Stones) and carry around Escape Root(KoS Carnivorous Plant house item), they work in combat for an easy get away.
