Rogue/Warlock

VS.

Shaman/Warlock

Try to sap the shaman. Doing this will make your job much easier. Once that is done, jump on the warlock. Dispel earth shield if he has it on him and the rogue should be sitting on him with stuns. Before the sap breaks on the shaman, you should be casting a fear. Keep him locked down with CoT and fears. If he tries to cast a heal, cs it. Whack his totems whenever you can, and he will eventually be forced to use his trinket. Once this is done, he needs to be blinded. Now you finish off the warlock.

A good Shaman will know that the Warlock's partner is a rogue just by clicking on the warlock and seeing that he isn't buffed with anything. Once that is determind, the shaman will shapeshift into ghost wolf preventing the sap.

When this happens, how do you proceed?

most shamans start out in ghost wolf already so dot the lock up forcing the shaman to pop out then sap him if hes not in combat then get on lock cot shaman fear him then blind if needed need good communication

Seriously, sap is nice, but not a necessity. It's still possible to fear the shaman three times, lower his casting with curse of tongues, silence him with felhunter and of course the rogue can blind > vanish > sap him. Lock/shaman is much easier for lock/rogue than warrior/shaman as there'll be no warrior to interrupt the warlock's casting. Unfortunately for you lock/rogue teams out there, this is not a very popular setup.

You won't be able to sap a Shaman. They can stay ghost wolf and purge the warlock to immediatly get into combat from ghost wolf form.

Omfg how hard can it be...
sap the warlock, sprint shadow step stun lock the shaman and begin burst. 5 sec into the sap, you banish the pet (may take two trys due to resist), then go fear the warlock. This will make lock unable to dispel fear on himself. I he does not trinket out, you should be able to burst a shaman down with all dots and incinerate spam, while rogue kicks and you spell lock. If he does trinket, you just blind him. If well communicated, and with a little luck, this is a frigging easy fight.

/care at my ratings, no not-taken partners on my server

"A good Shaman will know that the Warlock's partner is a rogue just by clicking on the warlock and seeing that he isn't buffed with anything."

Not true. A druid with half a brain will MotW himself, but wait til mid fight to put it on the lock (Or whatever his partner may be). So unless you're playing with an idiot druid, the above statement is false.
