Another thing to consider when comparing mages to locks (although the comparison now is premature) is that all of our damage comes from us, with locks however part of their damage comes from pets. Some fight mechanics prefer direct player damage.

That said the biggest difference between us is the fact that we're limited by mana while warlocks can Life Tap, playing an alt lock in Naxx feels like playing a melee class in the sense that you don't need to stop for anything.
