The main "flaw" of the shadow priest is 2 things I guess (in perception)

1. Soft DPS compared to say, an elemental shaman or Soul Link warlock

2. Tendency to go OOM quicker.

I think you answered your own question. Affliction warlocks are bar none the easiest class to focus fire, so of course you see it that way.

Rogues flop in 5v5, and it's pretty widely agreed upon.
