Gearing for survival in 2v2 vs. 3v3 and 5v5 are DRAMATICALLY different things.
..you really need the right group setup to make Destruction work in 5v5. In other words, a UA Warlock who can take some pressure off you to cast. Otherwise you'd always be the first assist target without Soul Link. However! Our 5v5 has been wanting to try this:
UA Warlock, Destro Warlock, AP/Pyro Mage x2, Paladin
