I don't really feel warlocks are overpowered anymore as they have recieved several hefty nerfs of late. The main 2 being:
1) All decently geared PvPers recieve 10-15% less dmg from DoTs
2) Fear can now be resisted in so many ways (Trinkets + The new Fear Ward + tremor totems + Undead Racial + Cloak of Shadows + Beast Within + Death Wish + Shadow res buffs) that most of the time even trying to cast it will get you killed. Fear used to be the ultimate CC, now it's is one of the weakest.
I'm not complaining, even though I PvP with my lock a lot, because a lot of the scaling down of our abilities was needed to balance things for other classes, but to say we are overpowered now is just not true and the comments normally come from ppl who have been beaten by one skilled warlock and they know they will get a chorus of agreement and sympathy by crying "OP".
The biggest downside for warlocks is perhaps that the extent of the warlock nerfs has not really sunk in with the PvP community as a whole, so warlocks are still top of the kill list in most situations and spending all your time fighting for your life in full defensive mode is not really much fun.

i disagree with the fear resists. in the same vein that it can be broken so many ways, so many people are eager to break it, but what they forget is that we can keep casting fear, and deathcoil resets the diminishing return so there is still lots we can do. doesn't necessarily apply to a warrior, although.. but this eots weekend i've been fearing people a lot more than usual and getting good results.
as far as being OP, i think what would consider a warlock op is that they'll never run out of mana.
