Having tested a warlock out, I feel as if they are the perfect example of a true dps class. Each spec has its own identity, each spec fulfills a certain niche where it can dominate the dps meters in, and they are topping meters on every fight (behind mages of course). Right now the 3 specs are not only very similar in playstyle, but also in the niche they fill.
BM is single Target and pretty strong AoE, SV is AoE and pretty weak multidotting, and MM is weak single target.
Then, you have warlocks which are: Demo has amazing Burst AoE and good multidotting capabilities, Destro has great single target and sustained AoE, and Affliction has strong Multidotting.
Hunters are having an identity crisis right now, and I hope Blizz can figure out what to do with us.
