Essentially, they did not move at all. Another class simply appeared below them and rogues.
Adding Demon Hunter spec will only destroy all the lore currently in game for warlocks. Now if they retcon, not only very new and recent lore, as well as old, then yes, they could add a demon hunter spec. But as it is, Warlocks have nothing in common with demon hunters, Get that through your head. And most players dont want to be warlocks that are demon hunters.
=.= Your cutting out 1 other spec, minimum, by going this route. And when have you seen a demon hunter, who loses all "fury" watch their warglaives go Poof, gone. They are a physical item. Even Illidan's warglaives, He looted from a demon's corpses, after tossing his old ones aside. Not to mention, its basically 2 specs in one.
They purposefully moved Demonology to ranged. Hell, in beta, they took away hellfire, and that was our meta meta forms aoe, not immolation aura. they had given us rain of fire, a channel, instead. But warlocks were so uptight about it, that they brought back original hellfire, so we still have an aoe in melee. But hand of guldan is basically Breath of Guldan, but gave it two charges and range... with a new animation. They even took away our damage reduction recently. We cannot be in melee for long.
While it would be a sorta interesting idea, basically bear-catting melee and range, whichever is better for a fight, it will simply break pvp.
