What do Warlocks need to allow them, in game, to step into the role of a Demon Hunter. The ability to dual wield. Then they can stand in melee range and auto attack, casting spells, using abilities and transforming as they see fit.
If you wanted to address the look even more, you'd make NElfs able to be Warlocks, allow Warlocks to use the glaives and add a blindfold. You might even give a flavor ability such as Spectral Sight.
If you wanted to make them viable and effective in the melee role, you'd add a couple of strikes and address the rotation for that role.
But to simply havem BE Demon Hunters? All they really need is Dual Wield. Even then, you could argue that DW isn't really needed and that...for all intents and purposes...Warlocks already are DHs. They might not be effective but they already have everthing that makes a DH a DH.
