I rolled my Warlock exactly for one reason, farming gold.

It's really easy to do and nearly everyone can do it. All you need to do is search the auction house for Shadow Wrath gear really to get a pretty good amount of shadow damage. Stamina isn't really important because of Siphon Life, Life Drain and their effects combined with Fel Armor. If things look bleak you just fear. Anyways, thats not really on topic and is pretty obvious so I'll move on.

Outside of farming primals with my Warlock I found one of the best places to farm is around the first mana forge south of Area 52 in Netherstorm. The area with the engineers. Basically what I do is do the lower level then walk up this hill to clear the next camp. Each camp takes around 5-6 minutes to do, and with ample spell damage (900~) it only takes 3 GCD to kill a mob. When you kill one camp the other camp will entirely be respawned, so hardly any downtime. Save your dark pacts and life tap GCD's when you're walking or when you get spell breaker effect on you, is really the only tips I can give.

You can do it by yourself with minimal downtime, but with a healer (druid is best) you can go forever. The other advantage is they loot while you kill, and you can split it however you like at the end. These runs (which we usually do for an hour) nets around 30-40g in just silver, 600-700 netherweave, vendor trash around 15g, a buncha greens (amount varies obviously, but around 6-10 usually) and lots of reputation. Depending on your luck you can usually net around 8-12 tomes on average and nearly 150 signet. So around 7.5k rep in an hour.

The last good farming place is legion hold in SMV. The areas with the Warlocks channeliing. No matter how much spell damage you have, there is no way you can out pace the respawn rate of the mobs (atleast I couldn't with nearly 1200 spell damage). Outside of having to kill the pitlord once every ~10 minutes, you can go on forever and ever.
