Because they're bad at it? That isn't something that's going to magically change for having a mage though.
And a warlock has flexibility by being able to swap to an imp to purge themselves which is really helpful for several bosses (Devos and Kul'tharok come to mind)
You're not wrong, but it was with SL pre-patch that they finally allowed Demonology's felguard to interrupt, by making the ability Axe Toss interrupt stun immune targets.
And while demo could technically swap to felhunter to interrupt, it's a massive gimp to them to do so since it guts them quite a bit.

I invite people purely based on if i like their character name and race/class combo.
What did you get from my post? I do add people and I do have friends. Sadly most of my friends don't like M plus at all because its not worth it for them, so they only do a key for their weekly and be done with it.
Also I was not doing a lot of m plus either, I was just spamming my key since start of this week like a madman to raise my rio, because this week is rather simple and its a good week to get the mount. I don't enjoy M plus, it feels shitty compared to raiding and atm I only do heroic raiding. Basically I did bulk of my m plus in last 2-3 days. My complaint was that since start of this week, I been accepted to Zero groups. I have much easier time on my mage, which is less geared and not in the same rio level.
honestly, that is not a blizzard issue, thats people issue, your class can do 1% less than other and some people wont invite you bcs you are not "meta"
anyhow, thats not important to what i said anyway, i play frost DK so i get declined in 95% groups i apply to, but you dont see me making post about it how there is something wrong with people for not inviting me, bcs they dont owe me shit, its their decision...
stun immune targets only is hardly a buff considering how many trash mobs can be stunned. and thats on a 1min CD too isn't it?
and yeah, because it's a massive dps loss is exactly why it's a bit... creative... to say locks have an interrupt and they never voluntarily play it.
Again though, that isn't an issue with the class and more of the players.
I mean, I see melee who refuse to interrupt all the time despite being the role with the shortest interrupt usually, that doesn't mean though I should never invite a melee.
And like I said, just because a mage doesn't rely on a pet doesn't magically make the interrupt more. Or you know, it could go the other way and they're just interrupting on CD even wasting their interrupt, but it looks good at least on meters.

Apart from few bosses, there is no reason for a warlock to not use felhound in m plus if there is anything interruptable in general. One exception is the lich boss in TOP, where you can purge yourself from the dot istantly and pretty much off cooldown. What you are complaining is that the players you played with was a bit clueless. That doesn't mean the spec/class is bad. If you did 100 m plus I can bet that you will see clueless people from any class. It's just not only a warlock thing.
This is going off Legion experience, but as soon as I initiate a key as tank/healer (or in best case scenario, tank/healer comb), I will get 2-3 pages of requests, within 10 seconds, that would count as qualify or overqualify.
I'm sorry, but that's the reality of things; there are massively more dps than healer/tanks. Regardless of how qualified or overqualified you are there are just that many more that are as, or more qualified, than you are. Other than solving the tank/healer issue there is no way around this.

But youre close, hold on to that and dont lose hope. Thats a mount I'll never get. I have a 210 WW monk and I dont get invited to anything above a 7.
I've been playing this game for 13 years and have no friends. Just cause you run dungeons doesnt mean people will auto friend you.
If what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Then I should be a god by now.
Ion thinks that providing poor balance year after year after year is gucci. The only way to beat Ion is with your wallet.
I want an expansion where "good balance" is a feature instead of Torghast or Islands.
Maybe because it doesn't gimp their dps? Pet dps is normalized aka you do the same damage with your damage pets, only exception is demonology warlock because they use a felguard, in destro and affli its the same shit that you use a imp or a fel hunter. They have different abilities and most of the time you use a fel hunter because of the interrupt. Your argument is only valid if the warlock you are talking about is demo, and in that case they still have a interrupt, just on a 30 sec cd instead of 24.

To be honest WW monk is pretty dope atm, so I am suprised you have issues finding groups considering they are really good. Plus its a less saturated class so most of the people who plays WW tends to be on the good side. At least thats my experience.
Exactly this. Have you considered that the problem might not be your io or you as a player, but that they simply don't want your class? Reliable interrupts are very important in many M+ currently.

A Fire mage has all that except the aoe stun. And of course, can also dispel curse and have purge on demand, not to mention it's a class with Lust. Not shitting on warlocks, just poining out the things you mentioned are not a differential. Locks bring a (kinda) long cast brez and poprocks to the table, and that's it.
I try to put together the best group possible to have the best chance of success. That does not include a warlock, especially considering I play a spriest. Even if I didn't play a shadow priest I would preferably not want a warlock in my dungeon group. Fire mages, balance druids, mm hunters, havoc DHs, WW monks, all better options.
