I'm an affliction warlock and I don't need any healing, at all
. And i still top damage meters 97% of the time in LFD groups (while leveling).
From
Corruption
giving me
Siphon Life
heals, to bandaging,
Lifeblood
,
Cannibalize
and good ol'
Drain Life
, and once I get it,
Haunt
, I
don't need any healing at all
when I play it smart.
Right now I can heal my own life tapping
and
pretty much any additional AoE damage I might take with simply these.
I know not everyone has all of these heals available but I don't use them all either. Usually just Siphon Life and sometimes Life Blood. Any warlock can bandage instead.
And still, I get healers healing me when I only used a rank 1 Life Tap
(for the glyph to proc. There's just as many stupid healers as there are warlocks.
Also even after I tell people I don't need to be topped off and that I should only need healing when I'm taking damage that isn't from my own life tap, they still keep overhealing me any chance they get, and then they go "mb plz".
TL;DR from my experience as a warlock leveling up in dungeons, I've found just as many stupid healers healing way more than what a warlock should need and thus wasting mana.

If the healer won't heal your taps, just don't dps. simple as that. wait until the pull is over and drink, that's what i would do.
My offspec healing set is more than enough to help locks out with a few fol's when they tap between pulls, and during pulls ill have beacon up on the tank anyway so its no skin off my back to heal the lock instead.
Really unless you're doing high end lich-king heroic type content no competant healer should give a crap about tossing a few heals onto a lock after taps.

Just to clear this up: warlocks do not LT to complement mana regen.
It is our SOLE source of mana regen outside of deep talents in destro and affli (neither of which are "mandatory" talents).
We have 0 MP5 while casting, unless we get MP5 or MP5-esque buffs.
We are designed to Life Tap. Live with it.

It's not simply convenient; it is a class mechanic. It is how Warlocks regain their mana. Affliction Warlocks can even get 1.2x the mana that they spend in health, if they talent appropriately. (And then, eat, bandage, whatever)
And, having at least one member of the team, ready to blast things, is not entirely a bad thing. It's too bad that the vulnerable time, when many players are sitting and drinking, is not subject to more random attacks.
(Because, then people would be a helluva lot less hateful towards Warlocks... They'd suddenly be the Second Coming)

Because a Warlock can totally solo a patrolling group of elites while everyone else is still recovering mana...
Oh wait, no.
