The thing is with Hunter pets, the reason there is so much variety is because the pet gives the Hunter the utility he is lacking. With warlock pets, you have at least one pet for every different situation you could get into.
Maybe it is time Blizzard revised the spells though, I understand where you're coming from..they do seem a little bland.

since ritual of doom isn't fun anymore T_T why not remove ritual of doom and instead allow your felguard to meta into a doomguard for 15 mins every hour
oh wait but that would hurt affliction's already uber dps since they miraculously benefit more from the demon among demons than the tree specifically addressing everything demon because it would just be so wrong for 3 trees to be competitive, how insensitive of me

indeed, quite baffled how blizz would let an already very pronounced tree that is the least pet dependent benefit the most from a warlock's top demon especially over a tree that is "supposed" to be built around the demons and well, lets face it, needs all the help it can get to compete in endgame content with affl and destro
I'd welcome a demonology overhaul tossing in a more pronounced role and allowing the use of the elite demon as an actual boost
would also like to see the infernal come back into play especially for more than 1/20 minutes, it can't do much of anything in 1 minute, i'd prefer 3 minutes every hour over 1 minute every 20 minutes but i'd prefer something slightly closer but due to its dps still lower than a doomguard..say 10/60 minutes or a shared 1 hour cooldown between the 2 and keep the 15 minute duration

i suppose that definitions for "utility" could be discussed but demo has the best raid utility of all the specs:
+13% spell damage debuff
+5% crit debuff
better healthstones
+spellpower raid buff
destro has replenishment and aff can use a felhunter without feeling gimped. demo wins though not via pets if that's your point.

Demo also
buffs
your spell/firestones. Your right though, it's not the demons that make demonology good.

To be honest i'd love it if it demo was more concentrated on pets like BM hunters, it may also draw people towards a spec that today is seen as a ginger step-child.

blizz will never support warlocks as a tanking class. they've added a fourth tanking class and have had to spend a huge amount of development time on balancing those four. they'll never give demo any serious tanking tools.
as for improving pets the devs have talked quite a bit lately about this topic. the problem is that pet AI isn't very good so they die too easily. this means that if a spec takes 50% of it's output from it's pet then it is gutted if the pet dies which can happen easily because pets are stupid.
i'm not sure what the answer is but it sounds like blizz have acknowledged the issue. i wonder if we'll see something before cataclysm?
