WoW Forever Warlock PvP
The top-voted PvP talent build for each Warlock spec, written by players on this site, and the Warlock talents the final client changed in ways that matter in PvP. Level 60 PvP was never on the beta, so builds are theorycrafted until launch on November 4; vote on the guides to move the best build up.
Warlock PvP talent changes in the final client
DataminedGrim Reach
Affliction talent
New in row 2 of Affliction: 20% more range on Affliction spells, so you can dot targets from outside their reach.
Wrack
Affliction talent
New Affliction capstone: shadow damage every second for 6 seconds, and the target takes 10% more from your other shadow damage over time while it lasts.
Pyroclasm
Destruction talent
The stun from Soul Fire, Rain of Fire and Hellfire lasts 3 seconds in this build instead of 6.
From the talent text in WoW Forever client build 1.60.1.70532 (client tables), in our own words. Try them in the Warlock talent calculator.
What a Warlock did in Classic PvP
Classic fallback- Crowd control
- Burst damage
Fear and Death Coil break up healers, damage over time pressures whole groups, and Felhunters strip buffs.
How the class played in Classic 1.12; the talent changes above can shift it. Honor, ranks and battlegrounds are on the WoW Forever PvP page.

Affliction/Hybrid Warlock PvP guide: The Tank 21/21/9 Soul Link build
A drain Warlock built to be hard to kill. It keeps the parts of the original build that win fights (instant Corruption, drains that are hard to interrupt, Siphon Life, Soul Link and a 30% slow), gives up some damage, and spends the points on survival
