Rogue/Warlock

VS.

Paladin/Warlock

Sap the Pally and kill the pet. If he trinkets, Blind him. If he Bubbles out of that switch to him and take him down while Fearing the Lock. If he does not trinket Sap or Blind him. Kill the Pet and then kill the Lock.

Keep Curse of Tongues and a Felhunter on the Pally and the Lock should go down. Keep 5 stacks of Wound Poison on the Lock and he should go down.

always sap the pally, this forces him to use his trinket/bubble alot faster. the rogue should always be on the warlock anyways.. avoids dots and keeps the pressure on for healing as well as double dps. After the sap has been set have the warlock start fear chaining the pally to get him out of the game. Silence him in the after the second fear sequence so he has to force the bubble... then it's over.

warlock: fear, howl of terror, and death coil early on.. you won't really use it again unless the warlock gets free and then the match will be a long one anyways... giving you perfect time for the cooldowns to come back (minus death coil) Anticipate pally heals when the warlock is low with deathcoil + fear. you won't be worried about the warlock, but make sure the pally can't force a heal w/o you casting some interrupt spell on him. Very crucial on taking the warlock down fast.

rogue: sap the pally, get on the warlock... long stunlock as normal cheap shot -> kidney shot -> vanish then cheap shot again. by this time your warlock is chain fearing him... if he trinkets out this is when you have to blind him hard.. then finish off the warlock, if the warlock is 20% just use CoS and use all your cooldowns to finish him off ( shadow step + 35% health should finish him off even white damage ) If you can't finish off a warlock with good stuns.. maybe you should try some Bg's for a while, cause rogues are made to kill warlocks..plain and simple.

One strategy that can work, and me and my partner have found most effective:

Get on the pally from the start with a sap on the warlock. be very offensive and force a bubble, keep dots on both the lock and pally. when the pally bubbles, switch over to lock asap. Warlock should be taking no damage(I use spellstone and shadow ward), along with the rogue taking no damage(CloS and felhunter dispels). Once that bubble is down the warlock/rogue should have an easy time CC'ing the pally and blowing up the warlock.

the pally being a good poledancer can be a pain sometimes but using this strat i've never lost to this set up.

some of you talk like you are just meeting low rated teams or making strategys in your mind Missing important stuff.

if you even try and manage to kill pet twice, then lock will for sure already fear + dot you both, and he can just start summon a new pet behind a pillar when you kill it.

If you dont go for pet which saves you from lots of fears+dots then a good warlock can dispel fear on the paladin and Spell lock Warlock in warlock+rogue's Shadow school and put CoTongues if needed.
