What do you guys think? I do not want to invest heavy enough into Elementalist to make it worth it so am trying something else. I understand this is not the top dps min/max spec but does anyone see anything in there that they have found to either be indispensable that i do not have or something kinda useless that I do? The point is to not run out of mana every long fight but still have a lot of power and dps with the passive bonuses from lock and archon.

Parse it and see.

at level 31 that will work very well for me...

Having 5/5 in exhiliration is a waste you really shouldn't run OOM if you use leeching flame on every CD plus if you really get into trouble you've get sac life: mana it's much better to move 3 points over into strength of stone increasing the int/wis bonus from PS

Agreed, 3 of those points should be in SoS instead.

Outside that, my gut feeling is that you're taking too much away from pyro or elementalist with this and putting it into warlock. For those points you've spent, you're getting an occasional .5 sec shaved off your fireballs, 1-3 extra charge per cast, 5% crit (that you could have gotten from elementalist for less points) and 6% to your damage. The 6% extra damage and the occasional .5 shave from fireball alone would be < tempest's 30% more crit damage, especially if your gear allows for a high crit chance. Not to mention a few more points gives you intensify, which coupled with heatwave is 30 full seconds of +50% damage.
