I'd rather not run around with 6k health thanks. I don't know if you've done any TBC raiding or not but there are a lot of encounters where everybody will take damage and stamina is important.

I understand that you are exaggerating, but if you have 6k health as a warlock ... you're not 'just' wearing Spellstrike, you're completely unbuffed in bad greens.
Fully raid buffed, as a priest, wearing 5 items with 0 stamina on them (Primal Mooncloth, Gruul neck, Prince ring), I have 8600 HP.
If we assume you have 0 slots without stam, you will easily break 10k HP, especially if you spec a few points in Demonology to pickup the +stat bonuses.
Spellstrike are perfectly viable pieces for warlocks. Don't overestimate the need for stamina. Having a lot is nice, but nerfing your damage is stupid. T4 is categorically less dps than the Spellstrike Helm/Legs, but is stat heavy -- if you don't have access to Gruul loot, then get Spellstrike.
And as far as "it's expensive" -- 5 Primal Mights (80g each), 10 Spellcloth (40g each), crafting fee (75-125g) : 925g. Is a piece of T4 worth 925g? I'd say so.
