Destruction Warlocks in Patch 10.1.

Destruction Warlocks bring a mix of strong single-target damage and control, and are very threatening when left alone. Chaos Bolt Icon Chaos Bolt is one of the most feared spells in the game. If you give a Destruction Warlock the chance to chain together multiple Chaos Bolts, the game will surely be over.
