New Demo Lock Talent Idea For Cataclysm.(Not what you think it is!)

Okay, so recently there has been a lore fight in a thread here but one post, this one to be exact; A little brainstorming here...
Eredar are demons
, right? So if dreanei are the same race then wouldn't they be demons too? And if draenei warlocks existed,
they could enslave each other.
gave me an idea, mostly the part in bold. As a demo lock, after speccing far enough into it we get the ability to summon a
Fel Guard
. But what if, instead of a melee dps/tank demon you favor ranged dps? Well, after reading that post, thinking back to WC3 and remembering what the eredar were like then, I got an idea for
another
summonable demon after speccing far enough into Demonology, an Eredar Sorceror. It would be a support caster much like the Imp but instead of buffing it would just put out insane amounts of damage. The catch though (to keep it fair and to make sure that QQing about "locks being OP" would be at a minimum), would be that you would have to choose between the fel guard or the Eredar.
Abilities
The Abilites would be; One mana dump like the imp's fireball, one DoT, one AoE and one self preservation spell.
Demonic Blast: The Sorcerer attacks the target with an orb of demonic energy, dealing XX amount of damage and has a chance to reduce armor by 5%. Cast time: 2 secs.
Demonic plague: The Sorcerer infects the target with the power of the twisting nether dealing XX damage over XX seconds, if the target dies under this effect there is 30% chance that imps will sprout from the corpse and attack nearby enemies for 5 seconds before dying.
The Sundering: The Sorcerer infuses the ground with fel energies causing cracks the appear beneath the target dealing XX fire damage to the target and to all surrounding enemies whithin 10 yards for XX secs, the sorcerer must remain standing to channel the spell. The spell can be canceled by the Warlock.
Hidden in plain sight(I need a better name):The Sorcerer assumes a spectral form becoming unable to be attacked and increasing health and mana regeneration rate by 50%, This also prevents the Sorcerer from moving or casting. Lasts 15 seconds. 5 minute cooldown.
Lore: After encountering these demons in Outland often while battling the Burning Legion the Warlocks of Azeroth have become able to permanently control these powerful spellcasters.
Needs a bit more lore, and maybe some touching up on the abilities, but at the moment, It is late and I am tired. Give me your feedback and I will come back and revise it or scrap it altogether, depending on what you guys think.
Edit: Spelling, punctuation, grammar.
Edit #2: Listened to your ideas with the exception of one of someone's "semi-Flame-age", and adjusted the abilities. Hopefully now it seems a bit more realistic.

I'm glad you gave it to me too, I got this idea right after you said that but was scared of being flamed... I posted it finally after I realized I was too tired to care If I got flamed, but so far the response has been positive.

Thank you, so very much. For not suggesting warlocks becoming tanks. Because that would lead to a lot of trolling about how its illogical...Problem is i'd have trouble deciding between a felgaurd and eredar.. I mean he's a felguard.

I could imagine that FG would still be the leveling pet and eredar would be a raiding pet and you're free of choice in PvP.

This is a very good idea. I have some comments about the abilities.
Demonic Blast: The Sorcerer attacks the target with an orb of demonic energy, dealing XX amount of damage and
has a chance to interrupt enemy spellcasting
. Cast time: 2 secs.
This is a bit OP if you ask me. A constant 2 second attack that has a chance to interrupt casting would be a caster killer when warlocks already do good against other caster classes already.
Hidden in plain sight(I need a better name):The Sorcerer assumes a spectral form becoming unable to be attacked and increasing health and mana regeneration rate by 50%, This also prevents the Sorcerer from moving or casting. Lasts 15 seconds. 10 minute cooldown.
The cooldown seems a bit long. Lets shorten it up to 1 minute as this would be a great tool to have in raiding to replenish mana and in pvp when your pet is getting focused.
Everything else is perfect.

Demonic Blast: Chance to interrupt = too powerful for an autocast 2 seconds. A simple Fel Fireball would be better.
Demonic plague: Change the wording to: The Sorcerer infects the target with the power of the twisting nether dealing XX damage over XX seconds, if the target dies under this effect
and grant experience or honor
there is 30% chance that imps will sprout from the corpse and attack nearby enemies for 5 seconds
before going back to the twisting nether
.
The Sundering: 15 yard is too large for an AoE. 10 yards would be more in norm.
Hidden in plain sight(I need a better name): Lame spell for a DPS pet.
Here some spell suggestion:
Anti-Magic Shell: The Sorcerer is immune to magic effect for 5 seconds.
Mind Warp: (debuff) Spell mana cost is increased by 100%.
Shadow Nova: (to replace The Sundering) Targetable AoE that also cause a pushback effect.
But I think it is a stupid idea to control an Eradar. They are powerful being and not simple normal demon. You should not be able to control them.
A Mistress of Doom would be a much better idea.

Good idea. I don't like the idea of "You have to choose" though, just stick a variable in all the numbers with (High) or whatever in brackets and let Blizz balance it (Lol).

I think the fix to demo warlocks is to introduce a semi-demon form buff that allows the use of some demonic abilities, and then you transform into a demon whenever you take alot or deal alot of damage.
That, and when all demoned out your pet should deal more damage and be unCCable.

The Eredar are smart. They aren't stupid enough to be tamed like a circus animal, so... not gonna happen.
Problem Solved!
