There's a warloock site at http://wowmb.net/forums/ which I used to
use, however it's pretty quiet and there's no saying it's got any
levelling info anyway - I usually find while levelling that trial and
error is the way to go :-)

I normally use whatever I have to hand; it doesn't make a whole lot of
difference at that level I'd say! You can compare the stats between
the two, or just use what you've got; it'll still be better than
pretty much anything else anyway :-)

Sounds like the hunter traps ability (pretty sure it's one of those
extending multi-spell icons, like the warlock pets summoning one), so
in that case it'd definitely be a glitch :-)
