Not exhaustive evidence by any stretch, but I think every time I've killed a warlock's felhunter in a 2v2 or 3v3, we've won the match, it removes a serious advantage and will often throw the warlock for a loop.

Good luck trying to kill a SL Warlock's Felhunter in 2v2 or 3v3 play. I can count on one hand how many times it's died when teams try and do that. Every game where they successfully killed it, we've won because they spend so much time/mana doing it. The thing has nearly 8k HP in my gear and ~ 4500 armor or something. Even if you do kill it, I'll just instantly re-summon another one. Meantime my Warrior (on our 3v3) is chewing through your team while you focus on a pet.
(Most SL Warlocks have 3/3 Demonic Resilience, which reduces damage to our pets by 15%)
..now, if you see the Warlock casting UA, kill the Felhunter. But that's what I enjoy most about SL. I use a Felhunter frequently, and it takes teams some time to figure out that killing it is wasting their time. Most SL Warlocks out there will try and use a Felguard.
