If you need to drink to heal the Warlock life tab, you probably need a lot beter gear.

I healed, tanked and played a warlock and what i can say it's that:

1) Some warlock build (like destruction) are not very mana efficient, it can happen on long pull that ill have to lifetab before the end of the fight

2) the ratio Mana --> heal --> Mana of the life tab is nowhere near 1:1

it's like 2-3% of the healer mana will translate into 100% of warlock mana. a healer with average gear can heal it without impacting too much the tank. And it can be healed with heal over time

But: there is a right time to Life tap. During an encounter where you will need more mana and at the end of the fight.

The worst time to do it it's just when the tank is pulling.

And i complain a lot (as an warlock, and tank) all these $#@%ing healer that jerks themselft at their mana bar.
