Where does this idea come from? Personally, 1v1 I've been trouncing most warlocks since TBC was released. Only the very skilled players present a challenge, which was definitely not how it used to be.
Diotox: I see your point and am inclined to agree with it in the case that you are fighting 100% casters. What you're saying, however, is that it takes the entire team's offense to neutralize your damage threat. If we only put, say, one offense on the warrior, that actually
increases your threat. So the warrior either has to sustain massive focus fire - enough that a switch into defensive would be necessary - or be left completely alone, or crowd controlled (which can usually be cleansed). Warriors are the only class that cannot be neutralized by attention, except by stuns, but those are uncommon and mostly delivered by rogues or *cough* paladins. I don't see "put the rogue on the warrior" as a really viable solution.
So, focus firing the warrior with magic dps is an acceptable strategy, if your team is all magic dps, or at least enough to matter. Otherwise, you are left with an unstoppable juggernaut who sprints across the field and wreaks havoc on anything not heavily armored. Something is off-balance here.
Also one other thing: a warrior in zerker stance takes the most magic damage, a warrior in defensive spamming reflect takes the least.
