Hey everyone,
My friend and I decided to hop back into Classic. We’re starting fresh on a PVE server. We’re going Paladin/Warlock.
Which spec would be optimal for me to run to produce to most efficient leveling speed?
Thank you in advance!
Would recommend Holy with a little bit of Prot.
Get to Improved Righteous Fury first, then holy all the way.
I hope you guys have a good time.
Make sure the paladin is a healer / tank and relies on you for dps 
I can provide additional advice if needed… as a paladin TANK/healer.

You should spec Holy and have your Warlock friend spec down to Intensity in the Destro tree.
Turn on Concentration Aura and heal him/her while they melt everything with an uninterruptible Hellfire… (BoP when available).

Is this actually viable?
Yeah, it’s hilarious. Uninterruptible Hellfire with chain heals and BoPs is just… broken.

ret is the best for solo leveling but holy is good to swap to for for lvl 40+ for healing dungeons. id go ret then holy at 40ish to heal dungeons with your buddy
This depends on whether you’re questing, or grinding dungeons.
For questing: Ret and affliction with imp void walker. Just make sure that you stack some +int so you won’t go OoM. You will have a lot less going into repairs if a void walker tanks. With this, you should be able to chew through most mobs, and as a paladin, you can off-heal, when needed. Neither holy nor prot have the burst potential that ret does, and the extra mitigation/healing abilities (unless you manage a shockadin) will really help with most quests.
For dungeons: Probably holy or prot for the paladin, and destro for the warlock. Most groups have a hard time finding a healer or tank… Desto will have better AoE and burst damage.
also make sure you get gear for ret and holy. if someone complains about you rolling on healing gear tell them to f off. u need it just as bad as they do if you heals dungeons as ret which is very possible until around sm cath
