Warlock self-res is a crutch for the weak.
Seriously.
What use is it outside of PvP?
That's right - people who struggle to stay alive can have a second chance at dying again. Give me a Warlock whose build is based around staying alive any day of the week. A Warlock using self-res is basically waiting to die. They're holding the rest of the team back. They don't generate orbs unless they die. They don't activate supers unless they die. They're basically a drain on DPS and team strategy/cohesion. If you're a Warlock with self-res, [i]you're letting your team-mates down[/i].
When recruiting for Raids, I ask people if they use self-res and then turn them down if they say yes. I want my Warlocks to be team-players, not people concerned only about themselves.
[spoiler]It's not really any use in PvP either.[/spoiler]
Edit: apologies if I've stopped replying to someone in particular, this forum makes it impossible to look through everything and keep up with every conversation.
Edit 2: Next week on Ackter Provokes: The Gjallarhorn and how if it was suddenly removed, 99% of players would no longer be able to beat anything!

To address 1 thing first : it's sh*t for pvp imo, you would rather take something that gets you kills over preventing death in most scenarios. But as for the rest , I don't play as a warlock but I find your post pretty ignorant and narrow minded. Playstyles vary depending on your class/subsclass , that's how it should be. If your a fragile hunter who has to play a cautious cat and mouse game or a Sunsinger who can go agressive and tow the line, everyone has their role to play and times when they are effective. The Ability itself is not what makes someone weak. If someone is weak, it's inspite of the ability.
