Totally agree. The warlock is sort of type-cast to use his gear that is a great option right now. Unfortunately, he just isn't great at anything.
I went a little creative with my ALL PESTILENCE 'Lock build.
a. Cast only Pestilence Turn 1. (10 (mana remaining))
b. Sprint in and try to get Ghoul Rot cast on enemy Mage Turn 2. (11)
c. Fullcast Hydra Turn 3. (4)
e. Quickcast (forcepush/teleport) Hydra into attacking position. (4-10)
f. finish off with Jinx/Fireball combo.
It was brutal. 8-points get the Hydra into your Pestilence Deck. And she hits like a truck! Sometimes averaging 9 dmg per triplestrike.
So 'Locks can be very good at Pestilence Builds, but you need Regenerate Creatures that also hit like a truck.
A great example of what makes this game so good, warlock or no. This is very clever!
I know if i was playing against this build, it would trip me up - would be hard to see that force push coming.
EDIT: This brings up a question that came up with the Hydra in one of my games: I know that attack bonuses only apply on the first hit, but do attack penalties? IE, if the hydra has Agony on him, does he get -1 die to every attack, or just the first one?
