THIS POST IS TAKEN FROM THE US FORUMS
I merely post this here to get the attention of Blizzard and cause I want to know other player's opinion (and sugestions) on this matter.
Please watch the video first before you reply.

This is just a small example of what we warlocks can do with drain life. Watch the green ticks.

A typical pvp video posted on the warlock forums.

466 healing per second with drain life.
250 healing per 3 seconds with siphon life on every target you cast this instant-cast dot on.

That's around 540 healing per second, not including siphon life being placed on multiple targets. Add 80 more healing per second for every target siphon life is placed on.

Here's the kicker, the warlock is DPSing at the same time he is healing himself for 540 healing per second.......


Most warlocks will try and fool you into believing that it's a magical fairytale, but some of us understand where you other 8 classes are coming from and agree that it needs to be changed. Some of us don't ride the Drain Train to sit on a 1900 arena rating, and you will see many warlocks around this range come into this topic to try and denounce this claim and cry that drain life is fine. They may even produce a list of mediocre interrupt abilities such as "blind" (like a rogue would ever waste blind to break a drain life knowing it will just be cast again as soon as the warlock is free), so don't buy into it. We know drain life is a bit too much these days, and so do you. Like I said though, there are a LOT of warlocks riding the Drain Train so they feign ignorance in order to enjoy it while it lasts.
