Frost Mage/Destruction Warlock

VS.

Druid/Warlock

Much like the Paladin/Warlock comp, you'll want to kill the Warlock while controlling his healer. Banish the Warlocks pet, begin to drop damage into him with your Mage partner, and get ready to instantly CC the druid when he pops out. A useful tip to CC a Druid in Tree Form is to save your Shadowfury to keep him still which prevents him from breaking line of sight to avoid the Banish. This does leave the pet out of a Banish, but use your judgment for which CC you place on the druid. Fear is still an option if you've already Banished the pet for quick burst to start the match.

Copied from the Paladin/Warlock strat but obviously still very relevant to this comp:

Banishing the pet serves multiple purposes; first it will cause the opposing Warlock to take 20% increased damage due to the loss of Soul Link. Second it will prevent the opposing Warlock from using his pet to Devour magic debuffs (Seduce/Sheep) off his Druid. Third, it prevents him from Spell Locking you and your partner's incoming burst.

Mage PoV:

You will want to do the same thing you do vs the Paladin/Lock (DPS Warlock/ Counterspell his shadow school) Toss a Deep freeze on Druid to help with CC.

Not sure how you plan on seducing or sheeping a druid but ok ;p

also i think any smart druid would shift out of tree to avoid a banish, fear is your safest bet, then again if he shifts out and ur quick you can always seduce

I play this setup at around 2450 and against any non retarded warlock you wont be able to banish the pet, and even if you do get it off the warlock will just play very defensive untill it ends (only last 4 seconds) we find that we can fake start on the warlock then make a quick switch to the pet and kill it in a global. We focus on doing this two times and then begin the nuke on the lock, works well

+ its even easier against warlock paladin.
