Warlock/Warrior

VS.

Druid/Rogue

Similar to Priest/Rogue but often easier. Your Warrior needs to be all over the Rogue in the beginning, allowing your Warlock to get him kited. If he gets near, lock him in Fears/Hamstring/Intercept. Once he's blown Cloak of Shadows and Sprint your Warlock should be fine for much of the rest of the game.

When the Rogue is sufficiently kited, the Warrior must switch to the Druid. Fully DoT both if possible. Spell Lock any Cyclones, Devour any roots and again try to Spell Reflect Natures Grasp. I would rate this equal to or a little easier than Druid/Warrior simply because the Rogue is Fearable and kiteable and the Druid doesn't last any longer against your DoTs and your Warrior.

srry but i think its hard to win a good druid rogue ...

sap lock -> rogue starts on warrior -with evasion or 2x evasion its enough to kill warrior-

druid cyclones lock when sap is finishing. If the lock is an expert in spell locking cyclones to a druid who is not visible, then start with bash and do dps on the warrior. After bash, blind lock and when he trinkets then switch to him.

Druid will kill warrior alone while rogue is trainning the lock. If needed, switch between warrior and lock... eventually one of them will die -sooner than latter-.

Assist the rogue if he is stunned by the warrior doing a FC to interrupt any fear attempt.

I agree, a good Druid/Rogue combo can pose a challenge to Warrior/Warlock. To counter the strat Nyordok has posted (Successfully won against a rogue that tried to do that), I rush in mounted, pop perception and bloodrage when I think the rogue is near. Then I just intercept the rogue and we take it from there.

Just yesterday I found a Warlock and we tried this setup out. I did it once before and he's play Lock/Rogue so it fit pretty nicely. However against Druid/Rogue the only time we would win would be when one of us would catch the Rogue out of stealth. If I know it's double stealth I always switch into Berserker without question so I can rage the sap and if they go for my lock it's generally a win for us. But when they go for me it's a whole different story. We found the best strategy is to keep your FH on the druid to stop any cyclones (pummel ofc) and generally whale on the druid. More often than not my lock is dead and I'm put into a 1v1 situation against the Rogue. It's very important not to let him reset the fight. You should have your debuffs on him anyway and it's a pretty easy win from then on.

However, I haven't tried out 33/28 with a Warlock. My gear is pretty sub-par (S2 w/ S4 gloves) I know sword spec offers a little more burst but with 35/23/3 w/ Blood Craze the Mace Stun has actually won a couple games.

In this situation, provided the team saps the warlock I find it best to kite the rogue to the best of my ability. I spec for booming voice, so if a rogue saps and isn't sprinting, you should be able to demo shout him out. this gives you enough time to whack him and get a hamstring. if all else fails just sit in battle or d and take the beating until your warlock pops.
