While you are completely correct - the problem is that the WoW Warlocks are the ones that are in the popular mind, they're the ones that everyone are going to compare them to. And in the popular mind it's going to look like 4E "stole" the Warlock from WoW. Regardless of what the actual truth of the matter is.

Market and Perception count more than the truth.
If truth mattered we'd all be watching BetaMax Tapes instead of inferior VHS tapes.
