I think that mage is currently a little stronger in pvp but locks are faster to lvl.
Level your locks as affliction and you hardly have to take any mb's at all, + you can take like 10 mobs at higher lvls.

demolocks are gods of leveling. They are, like beastmastery hunters, the fastest leverers in-game. BUT,as mentioned before, don't choose based on what levels faster, but on what you like.
ofc,being a @#$%ing demon with *!@#ing demonic wings ON FIRE > you (but hey,that's just my opinion)

Affliction for leveling is very very fast with little to no downtime.
Dot, dot...run to next mob...dot, dot...run to next mob...life tap...dot, dot...etc.
Someone here has it in their signature I believe but leveling a mage is like being Irish...
Drink, fight, drink, fight, drink, fight....

As far as my knowledge goes demon locks > than mage for leveling. Once you get fellgaurd your rotation is as follows:
1. target mob(s)
2. pet attack ( with cleave and charge )
3. /laugh at target mob
4. the end
Affliction is great cause of the life stealing DOTs as said before run around DOTing, but when fighting elite mobs your survivability is allot higher with demonology since your demon takes the beating while you dps the mob down.
Mages is just plain awesome and portals = easy travel since you don't have to fly all the way back to the city just to train. Mages imo is allot more fun since you have loads of cool spells :D
Both are great for endgame dps and both should be fun. Personally Id roll a mage before lock but that's just me

While I agree with you partially...I've never been a demo lock so I can't say 100%...but I leveled full affliction and have no issues with my VW tanking stuff. There is one key though...
Patience.
At level 80 I still have my off spec as affliction...I do all my dailies and grind/farm in affliction. I raid in Destro.
I have the 20% health VW glyph and my VW does great....the key is patience.
Your VW doesn't build aggro very fast but he will build it.....1-2 dots..keep him healed...rinse/repeat.
If you go all out dps on an elite with your VW tanking...you're done.
My VW has 23-24K health when I switch to PVP gear for a certain kill...and it works great.

You level fastest with your favorite class, choose something you enjoy

Excuse me, sir, you are an idiot :)
There is no fing way you level faster with a priest than a lock, even if you enjoy the priest and hate the lock! (Always within the special scenario that you have your brain working at 2%)
Anyways to the OP. I really couldn't be arsed to level a mage, cause of the "irish" style. I leveled a lock tho, from 70 to 80 within 3 days. Affliction locks are the bestest leveling spec evah!
Btw, a lock will power level faster than any mage, any time, with no exceptions, UNLESS the mage is aoe grinding, which I am not sure of tho

A draintanking warlock can level pretty fast...since you top off your health as you fight, there's very little downtime.

mage and warlock level pretty quick, but i would be thinking about end game what you wanna do, locks are just mean with their DoTs, mages are mean damage dealers (i hate locks on my druid feral, so does my other feral druid buddy)

Plus, there are some people that have found crazy specs for leveling anything

I think that sentence right there was what kattib was talking about. If you don't like a class then chances are you won't level it and it will
seem
like its taking longer.
OT I agree completely that a warlock will level faster if the same effort is put into each of them due to less downtime and pet.

Warlocks aren't mean damage dealers? Guess you have never had a run in with a good destro lock.
