Taken from the US forum:

I have leveled up multiple Warlocks, and this is the talent order that I have found to be the fastest.

27-29: 3/5 Fel Stamina
30: Respec to 5/5 Imp Corruption, 5/5 Imp Drain Life, 2/2 Imp Life Tap, 5/5 Fel Concentration, 2/2 Nightfall, 2/2 Grim Reach
31: 1/1 Siphon life
32-34: 3/5 Suppression

52: 1/1 Siphon Life
53-55: 3/5 Suppression
56-60: 5/5 Shadow Mastery

Common knowledge is that Drain Tanking is the most efficient leveling spec. Few realize, however, that it is nearly useless before level 30, due to the weakness of the Drain Life spell.

How to level:
Grind on mobs that drop items *that are needed for quests*, then turn in the quests. Do instances for the items, and if you can get a high level character to run you through, that is much more efficient than going with a group.
A big thing to remember is that grinding alone is no faster than questing. You need to do both at the same time to really level quickly. A good (Horde) example here is that when I was in Ashenvale, I grinded on the mermaid guys just north of the Zoram strand. Many were casters, so they went down easy, and they dropped a ton of Ashenvale Pages. I grinded on them until I was bored, and then turned in all the pages for the last two bubbles of experience, and leveled.

1-9: Do your lowbie quests. Should take 2-3 hours.
10-29: Stack all your DoTs on a mob, send in the VW, stack all your DoTs on a second mob, and then wand the second mob to death. Repeat until low health, and then bandage/Consume Shadows. Each level should take about an hour, movind towards an hour and a half as you get closer to 30. If they are taking longer, figure out what the problem is (mobs too far apart, mobs have too much life, too much downtime) and move to an area that solves it.
30-39: Drain Tank: Load the mob up on DoTs, send in the Succubus, cast Drain Life, rinse and repeat.
40-44: Drain Tank, but instead of Life Tapping, use Dark Pact. A good rule of thumb is, DP only if your pet is over 50% mana, because if they run out it will slow your fighting time down.
45-59: The Drain Tanking gets even better now. By Demonic Sacrificing your pet, you are able to regen even more life per fight, keeping up with increasing monster damage, while still 'Tapping up to full mana whenever you want.
60: You are now in SM/DS, the generally accepted best grinding spec. Do whatever killing you need to do, grind factions etc., and then respec to your high-level build of choice.

This is a good grinding guide, thanks Arandor for the link.

Equipment Choice:
"I found that during early levels it was best to focus on +sta, and at around 35 or so to switch to +shadow or +dmg. If you are specced into affliction and are draintanking, +dmg will be vastly superior to +sta. You kill the mobs much faster for the same mana, and heal yourself that much faster." -Clutchsama

Well, decided to play a lock up a week ago since I was bored with all my other 60's at the time. I have a pretty standard grind rotation for areas by now and it quickly became apparent that lock was a different animal for leveling. Many of the areas that worked well for my mage or rogue or warrior, paladin, etc just didn't handle as well for my lock.

What I did like though for leveling:
13-23 westfall, crabs (used VW). There are 3 permaspawn areas, where you literally CANNOT run out of crabs. They respawn if killed off and there are always crabs there. I can break out coords if its wanted (there are also stretches of the crabs that do not have infinite respawn). First area has level 13/14 crabs, next is 15/16 crabs and the last is 17/18's. You can grind those VERY fast and continuously wether you nuke, drain, whatever. (I don't loot anything here when grinding level after I hit 150 cooking, collect the clams and crab chunks to raise cooking then just skip the looting unless you really need the cash).

23-26 wetlands. spiders (used VW). I know, I know they poison and it drains life constantly, a pain in the butt to be sure but steady supply of easy to kill mobs (good supply of spider silk too!) Gooey spider legs are good cooking.

26-29 wetlands/darkshire quests (used VW). Just don't pass up the easy questing at those levels, you CAN'T beat the level speed of those quests with pure grinding.

29-33 darkshire (used succy), raven hill crypt, plague spreaders/mind eaters. Only irritating at peak hours when everyone is questing in there, otherwise you'll have it to yourself 90% of the time. Fast grind, and easy. The disease and mana drain is irritating but not debilitating at all.

33 thousand needles, race track quests (mostly VW w/ the constant lvl 35 mobs). I didn't like this zone, never have but I always run the quests. The scorpids poison for 3 minutes! the basilisks burn your mana or stun or sleep and nothing has a good respawn rate except the basilisks in the south. Level and get out of there.

34-35 Hillsbrad, cave yetis (used succy). This is a popular place for a lot of people but many times you can get it to yourself or with just one other person in there. Pretty fast grind.

35-36 alterac highlands, giant yetis (used succy). The white yetis are again fairly easy and its a nice easy circuit that you can make (mining in the area if you are into that, or lots of skinning).

36-37 arathi highlands, peons (succy). This was a fast grind but irritating since the buggers bolt at 30% health. I actually used siphon life here in place of CoA and put on recklessness. Not a bad grind, never run out of mobs, lots of silk cloth drops here for tailors. You will sometimes have to contend with mage frost-aoe grinders. Just forcibly break the rotation they set up and make it inefficient for them *wink*. You'll either kick them out entirely or appropriate one of the fields and surrounding area for your own.

37-40 alterac highlands, ogres (succy) easy and smooooth grind. Almost all your spells get upgraded at 38. I'd just Coa/corrup, drain, drain, tap tap move repeat. Good supply of silk cloth. With a bandage every 10 minutes or so I just never ever had to stop. popular grind area especially at peak times with questers chasing knucklebones and books. Use the northern camp not the one closest to Tarren Mill. (sell your loot to the goblin in the cage to prevent pack space problems)

Right now I am grinding in ferelas on +1/+2 gnolls with a VW. I'm using the VW instead of succy cause when you are -level compared to the mobs, adds mess your life up fast. Mobs are dying in around 22 seconds which is half again as long as the ogres I was killing but easily beter than 50% more xp so its actually a faster grind (and they drop lots of mageweave). I can still handle 2 or 3 adds easy enough, succy would be close to toast with even one add. (I went only to fel conc and not DP in affliction, imp VW does help here) DP prolly grinds faster with lower level mobs(?) but I was experimenting with gear and build and decided not to bother switching back.

It seems to me as I go along that the lock is all about mana efficiency. You can literally kill a mob with 100 - 200 net mana after life taps and keep it up almost indefinately, I like that (basically a band-aid every 20-30 mobs). After levelin a mage where you drink every single minute regardless of your grind style, this is somewhat refreshing.

I tried very heavy +damage gear at 35 (something like +150) and I didn't like it for grinding at all. Yes, you melt things very fast but my health pool just wasn't nearly large enough to efficiently transfer the health to mana and then have room enough to suck it back up with drain life. I am very impatient with grinding and HATE micromanagement of my health/mana pools. I cut back to about +100 and a bunch of eagle/stam gear and it was workin like a champ. Those slots that are +damage now I keep upgrading as I go (+120 now at 40). With the bigger pool I could go much, much longer without needing a bandage or potion or whatever else to even things out.

Long post but hopefully there's something useful in there for someone. Half the struggle it seems to me isn't so much the build as where to level easiest.

Эхх выложил бы этот гайд когда я качал лока .
Честно говоря я сделал вывод что чел качался на пве сервере

Было бы весьма интересно увидеть с поправками на PvP-сервера, а то действительно смахивает на то что это расписано под PvE-сервера.

да, похоже на ПвЕ. Но и на ПвП вполне терпимо будет.

это конечно будет весело на ПвП сервере. Но я в свое время на ПвП серверах там много времени проводил и ничего так, забавненько было
