Mage was strong back in Vanilla before Streamers were a thing too. I’m sure it doesn’t hurt though.
true, I guess they still dont have deep freeze.
Mage and hunter both bring lust, warlock has pet to tank in the world. hunter has better CC options than mage (trap works on everything, MM has a knockback, binding shot is OP)
Mage and hunter both bring their perks, but I’d say also take a look at druid.
Critchicken or Kitty for dungeons because you said you don’t want to tank/heal.
Bear available if needed and Heals/rez on tap for if things go wrong when it’s just the two of you. Also leaves the tank/heal option open for if you change your mind later. Over the years I’ve been able to get into a few raids that were technically full on DPS because I was able to be an extra heals on this fight or OT on that one while I oomkin’d the rest.

For normal raid and low keys either is equally good. Both have lust.
And yeah mog sharing as others said is a bump for mage
Hunter is faster and more mobile than mage. Mage has QoL like teleport/portal. It’s honestly down to which playstyle you prefer.

Mage is always best choice if you want to dps.

I have personally run like every other key I do this season with a warlock…they seem to be popular now for some reason 
Lust, cookies, ports and summons, can trade each other gear. One of you does insane aoe, the other one provides 5% int to help with that. It’s like you were meant to be.

Idk why everyone pretends like healing is soooo hard. They’re easy mode in M+.

Don’t let these people discourage you, mage and warlock are the strongest wombo combo you can ask for. The mage offers time warp and intellect buff while the warlock offers summoning closets. Everyone is going to want you guys.

I would not stress about this for keys 10 and lower.

Destro and firemage are similiar.

Depends ENTIRELY on the group. Group of skilled players with now years of experience in Mythic+ and over a year of experience in the current set of dungeons? They’re probably going to keep the amount of healing needed to a minimum.
Random pug? Or just, you know, average players who don’t run Mythic+20s like they’re Heroics? Less leisurely for the healer.

Pugs usually mindlessly follow the meta, and the current meta is Warlock, either Destro or Demo (Destro is better, but needs giga pulls to really show their strength), and Survival Hunter. Of course you’re going to have a hard time joining as two DPS, but if that’s what you want to do, at least know that you have the 2 best options available currently until/if they get nerfed further.
Mage isn’t doing so well this patch outside of PvP, so my advice is to go with Hunter, Survival specifically.

I can’t be the only one thinking OP being a DH would be an adorable dynamic… (he could be her Incubus or something)

Going to be honest OP…as a double invite DPS+2 ranged DPS who got higher CD interrupts your not gonna find much acceptance. People prefer melee over too many ranged DPS primarily for interrupts and warlocks aren’t the best in M+ either.
Honesty in keys up to 20 comp doesn’t matter.
For transmog runs? Literally do whatever you want

You’ll likely get more invites as a warlock & Hunter couple bases upon the current meta for this season. But only if you’re a survival hunter.
Lust/Hero/Time Warp are hugely popular and can get that with either a mage or a Hunter (depending upon the pet). Because survival aoe is disgusting this season, they are more in demand then mages.

I’m sorry my suggestion for a helpful way to run as a duo (something I’ve done twice now with my spouse) was deemed unacceptable to you, while Jhannae’s suggestion of “or be a tank” is deemed the opposite. I’ll try harder to please you in the future. Thank you for your insightful feedback. It’s much appreciated.
