This can go either way, but its definitely not an automatic loss.
Try your absolute hardest to get the Rogue out of stealth. The Warlock must stay mounted and the Warrior should stay a Charge distance away from the Lock. When you get the Rogue out or if he opens on the Warlock, the Warrior should Charge and Hamstring immediately.
It's now the Warlocks job to kite the Rogue around; fear him whenever possible, keep exhaustion up, and DoT both the Priest and the Rogue. The Warrior should be fully focusing the Rogue and doing his best to keep it away from the Warlock.
Intercept the Rogue when he Cloak of Shadows/Vanish/Evasions etc. If he catches your Warlock, the Warlock needs to Trinket, Fear, etc and get distance again, while refreshing DoTs on both the whole time.
When Pain Suppression is blown, the Warrior should switch to the Priest and the Warlock should keep kiting. Coordinating Pummel and Spell Lock is important here, but the Priest should drop fairly quickly. If the Rogue gets low from DoTs and the Priest is still up, consider an Intercept -> Execute, but generally we kill the Priest first in this lineup.
Contrary to what you may think, this match can actually drag on a fair amount of time, as the rogue really doesn't get to be on the Warlock too long with constant pressure from the Warrior and Fears/good kiting.

| I like your strats, thank you for the effort. But what about the other situations that may occur? Like the rogue (locks down warrior) and priest (with PI up) both opening on the warrior? | |

| If rogue is on the warrior from the start, the fight becomes a lot more uphill. Its hard to keep pressure on the rogue when he has evasion popped and crippling on yourself, and hard to stick on the priest when the rogue locks you down with stuns and crippling. By the time he's through with CD's, the warrior will probably be very low and unable to recover. | |

| Tried this, and the rogue just opened up on me, stunned me up, the priest used mind blast and smite. I couldn't move or kill anything. The rogue used evasion and crippling so getting to the priest was a different story. When the rogue was done with his stuns and cooldowns I was at like 20% and wasnt able to do enough damage for the warlock to beat both the rogue and the priest by himself. | |

| This fight and Warlock/Priest are the only fights we lose. I've accepted defeat against Warlock/Priest but I was wondering if anybody can come up with a legitimate strat on how to consistently beat this team. The above strat doesn't work too well and doesn't work at all if they try to DPS the warrior down first. | |

| I agree with the above about rogue on warrior making us lose. fear ward, wotf, cos, trinket, all done back to back makes warlock useless in CCing the rogue. within this time he killed my warrior. nice dmg, he must've been mutilate. | |
