Do warlock DoTs stack in classic … can more than one warlock have the same DoTs on an npc or player or does the highest damage one overwrite what’s already on the target?
The strongest one overwrites.
ok thanks 
Otherwise bosses would be dead in an instant as all people would do is bring 1 warrior for tanking, 1 healer for the tank, then nothing but warlocks to stack 38 dots.
Then do people ever bring more than 1 affliction warlock? Seems only one would be able to do anything?
This isn’t true.

I couldn’t remember if it was the strongest or just the newest. I went with the safer bet. But I knew it was one of those two.
It’s neither. Another warlock’s dot doesn’t overwrite yours, or vice versa. Excluding of course the debuff limit.

Then I’m thinking of something else that overwrites. Ah. It was the curse I was thinking of.

Perhaps you’re thinking of a warlock’s own dots overwriting each other by using different ranks.
It’s hard for me to remember as I play the healer in groups so I care less what damage they do as long as they kill the mob as all i’m focus on is keeping them alive. All I knew was when warlocks in my group talked about overwriting something.
So if me and a friend both play affliction warlocks, we can both cast our DoTs and they would all get on the target, even if we use the same DoTs?
Yes.
Up to the debuff limit (of 16), but two warlocks will never hit that. Even if each puts an Immolate, Corruption, Siphon Life, and Curse of Agony.

Sorry for the miss information. That was my bad LUL
Ok thanks 
I think you are remembering HoTs. Strongest HoT of one spell overrides another. Like a stronger Renew will override a weaker Renew on the same player. I think this was the case.

Well you could have just let a warlock answer the question, you know. 
There are 16 debuff slots. This is why this is not a thing.
Yet not a single warlock is in here LUL
Eh, just because my avatar is a shaman from my free trial account doesn’t mean my vanilla main wasn’t a warlock. But the question had already been answered so I didn’t bother to point that out.
