Advice on whether to go Warlock for pvp

I want to play a ranged class for pvp, so my only real choice is lock, hunter or mage. As we know other ranged classes are seriously weak in pvp in lots of ways.
Ive got a hunter at the moment lvl 75 but they do seem to be quite weak and a lock lvl 80 but never got past doing a few bgs to get resilience cos i was getting killed so fast and couldnt escape anything. Then the patch came in with the fear nerf just as i got to lvl 80 so was like.. f*** this.
If i go warlock and get resillience will I be able to beat melees? DK Ret rogues warriors. Or just get flattened in seconds with no chance of escape.
Im ok playing a class that has some weaknesses but i dont want to be playing against people i have absolutely no chance against at all.
Thank you

Short answer: No.
Long Answer: Just rolling Lock and getting a bit of Resil will NOT automatically make you the almighty god of death who can survive anything and destroy anyone. THAT takes alot of practice, the right spec, the right preparation and, of course, resilience.
Warlocks can kill Warriors, Rets and DKs with relative ease (with proper setup; Demonic Circle and a healthstone), with DKs being the hardest on that list to kill (they have ALOT of CC/anti-kiting methods). Rogues are another story, unless the rogue is really bad we have to work HARD to defeat them in a 1v1.

Yeah i understand that its also down to the players skill. But id like to feel that if i do everything right id have at least a 35% chance to win.
If you wouldnt then I just feel its a bit pointless. I'll probably just have to grind to get resillience then find out after.
Thanks to those posts so far.

You could have the best gear in game and totally blow.
It all comes down to how well YOU play your character, weither it be a warlock, hunter or mage. Im used to PvP with my DK. Which i got good at, but got bored of. When i started the game i wanted to PvP with my warlock. The first character i made.
I think warlocks are a good choice. Im looking forward to testing mine out when i hit 80..

Use Voidwalker, nobody will ever attack him =P I found it works rather well actually.
Voidwalker has Consume Shadows, which means you unstealth people early (most effective with a rogue partner; if he opens on another stealther you basically win the match)
Voidwalker has shield. Not the best thing on the planet, but it helps.
Voidwalker has Suffering. Most people overlook this little jewel of an ability, but -10% chance to hit is a BIG deal.
Voidwalker isn't normally attacked by people. To be honest, I'm not sure WHY people don't just kill the little sucker... I mean, he used to have like 35k HP (when you are in PvP gear), but after the nerfs he has less HP than I do. W/E.

lolfury is the main skill that will help you in pvp, actually if it wasn't for shadowfury, locks wouldn't be that good in pvp against melee, or any class for that matter. It's amazing to keep a healer stunlocked like that, in 2's
