The warlock can't cast searing pain because the flames are immune. The result will be threat capped on both ends.

But we can use exorcism, which definitely makes up a decent amount of the threat gap. We almost always kill my flame first, without any problems. Warriors lose a fair amount of threat with the items they drop too, so the key is to stress to your dps to watch their damn aggro. Ours has pulled off a warrior and myself by being idiots in the past, although getting more comfortable tanking the flames and avoiding eyebeams has helped my threat output considerably, and it's been a long time since they've pulled aggro off.
Also, the argument here isn't that it's optimal, but that it's a good fix. You already likely have a warlock with a decent amount of FR gear, so gearing them up to tank the flames will probably be a lot faster than completely gearing up a new tank. And it's certainly a better option than having one tank try to tank both flames (although that would be interesting, please frap if you do this).
