as written above what is your actual impression about our class in PVE content, focussed on dungeons and your role as a striker class?
is there a place for the warlock, or do you even outperform other classes?

As a damnation spec warlock, now respecced to mod 6 gear, I think life is about borderline decent in PvE, at least when I don't think too hard about what some other classes get up to, and taking into account what I tend to do (at most IWD / Dread Ring, don't really go into dungeons). There is a lot more difficulty, yes, but it's not completely horrible most of the time - there are enemies that need to be approached extremely carefully (thayan servitors) and ones that are just a murder on feet; do not try when alone (polar bears), but I feel that might get better once my gear improves further - it's the simple math of getting hit too hard to regenerate in between.
What I dislike most is long casting animations getting in the way of tactics and perhaps the damage most powers (asides from perhaps dreadtheft) deal (actually, that combines with the first, in a way - given what risk I'm generally taking by standing to deploy something, it should pay off a bit more) - the puppet is in fact responsible for most of my damage output, and that's without the bug so about 11k per hit.
I would so love Arms of Hadar as a breather-provider, if it didn't have the stupidly long activation, making it fit only for slamdown of already busy foes, as ones attacking you tend to move out of the way.
Don't do PvP - tried back in mod 5 a couple times, found it somewhat... onesidedly painful x3.
I'm one of those players that really enjoys a challenge in any RPG setting. SW so far has been the only class to give me that. I'll continue to play it no matter how bad it gets.
Don't let the current meta steer you at of your comfort zone because it's not "popular" or "effective". If you enjoy SW play it. If not, re-roll something else. Simple
My opinion
Heh, it's one of the things I like in Mod 6 - while we got screwed too, it seems that in PvE, all the classes require a good deal of l2p, which is something we had to do back in mod 5 already, to some extent, leading to fun situation like me helping a CW with a quest (portal to tuern, the first non-daily one) and pretty much ending up soloing the boss after he got knocked out and went O.O and wtf at me XD
see the sad thing is u suck as a cw. i cannot play the class for my life. but hr gwf gf etc. i rock at.
