This sounds great and all, but is there anything to counteract being interrupted? Because the harvest life talent (as an example) seems like a great defensive cooldown, but since adds love interrupting spells as soon as you press them, wouldn't it be a little hard for locks to use such spells as harvest life? Obviously if they added something to prevent it I'd hope they'd allow players to interrupt the warlocks, otherwise it'd be insanely overpowered in PvP.
Might have been mentioned somewhere, but I wanted to flag it up anyway

How often do mobs use interrupts? Not very often that I recall. Yeah, it happens, no doubt about that. But even if it's a problem, demo has quite a few instant-cast spells (especially during Meta), and even instant cast health return talents.

Ray of Twilight, Demonic Slash, Carrion Swarm, Corruption, Bane of Doom, Immolation Aura, Wild Imps, and Hand of Gul'dan are all instant cast, and most of these don't cost mana with the tanking glyph, so you won't need to Life Tap much.

To me, it looks like it's a matter of tuning more than anything else.
