Demonology Warlocks in The War Within Pre-Patch

Demonology Warlocks have more crowd control than the other specs and, therefore are also much harder to kill. They have utility in the form of Axe Toss Icon Axe Toss, allowing them to kite or set up a Fear Icon Fear freely. If the Demonology Warlock is unchecked, they can easily burst an enemy down in seconds using Summon Demonic Tyrant Icon Summon Demonic Tyrant.
