I leveled them both to 40 and like them equally. However I only have time to play one.. which one with the right gear and rotation will out dos the other? How bout pvp. I can't decide what do you think in the current state of the game? Thanks

What a surprise, I know someone would post this. I'm looking for someone who has experience with both, hence I posted it in the mage forums as well. Where else should I ask?

I think he was implying that you might not have the most objective answers to that question here.

Top DPS changes from patch to patch, and through-out every single season in WoW, there hasn't been one where either mages or warlocks were at the absolute bottom. Neither really has a definitive edge over the other in the grand scheme of things.

I have both a Lock and a Mage leveled to 85. Both classes are equally fun. Leveling the Lock was a bit easier than the mage with a lot less down time and having it's own "Tank" to help out (When I leveled my Mage, "Permapet" wasn't an option, and even now, they don't "tank").
Running dungeons (non heroic), the Mage is doing a little more DPS than the Lock, but that in part is probably because I've had the Mage since Vanilla, and started the Lock in WotLK, so I understand the Mage better and react quicker to procs and such.
To be honest, both classes are pretty even in terms of DPS, CC, and raid buffs. You really can't go wrong with either class as a "Main".

do you like a simplier rotation (arcane and frost is joke easy compare to most others nowdays)
you like to keep up alot of stuff then try fire mage or a warlock?
like to have a pet?
do not want to play around with pet?
what do you like most? conjur food or healthstone? teleport/portal or summon them to you?
do you like the soulshard system or do you like the proc spell ?
do you like to manage mana or do you not just care about mana(lock life tap ftw)?
start ask this question to your self , look over the spells each class have ect
if you just want to dps, Survival hunter is the flavor of the month

Don't delete the losing character. That's what I used to do when I was getting bored with alts, but now I regret it. Let the losing one be on your account unless you need a free slot because of the 10 char limit.

you could always ask a GM to restore your deleted characters

OT: as a vanilla mage, go mage.. once you go portal you never go back
