I don't recall linking anything. I think you were thinking of somebody else. Anyway,
In the basic sense, even as WoW describes it, Warlocks as a whole are not evil, they simply bend evil energies to their will. (That's not to say a Warlock can't be evil, but being one doesn't imply he is.)
After all, if Warlocks were evil, how would they have a place among the Alliance, or even the Horde?
Most warlocks get corrupted by the evil magic though, hence they become evil. And having evil people never stopped anyone(look up operation paperclip, the US recruited some nazi scientists at the end of WW2, no not scientists working for the nazis, scientists that were known nazis)

Warlocks are pretty much outsiders wherever they go - just look at where their trainers are in SW and IF. Sure, their factions use their powers because they need them, but it sure as hell doesn't mean they like them.
Also if you're telling me that people who suck out their enemies' souls and use them as a tasty snack aren't evil, I'd like to know what is. :P
Well, they ARE our enemies. The ones that tried to kill us. So we want a little vengeance!
If you think that's evil, then Paladins are evil too.

I don't follow.
But no, warlocks are not necessarily evil. You just associate soul-sucking, and all the painful bloody spells to something incredibly wrong. Yes, they are kind of different thinkers, but if a creature is about to die anyway, why not collect its soul for later use? Curse of Agony vs, Fireball. To feel some internal pain, or to get scorched by a giant ball of fire.
That's kind of like saying that all Blood Elves are purely evil, because they need/want to feed on magic - fel or arcane.

If you read about death knights somewhere and how they are tolerated within their respective factions be that horde or alliance, you'll often read something like "death knights alike warlocks are treated as a tolerated evil". There is no pure good and bad. There are characters that find their powers useful. And as long as those characters have some social powers within factions the evil of warlocks and DKs will be tolerated and be used in respective interests.

Are warlocks evil?Very good question I have a 70MM hunter,but I have rerolled a human warlock that I have gotten up to level22 in a week I don't look upon myself as evil so I tend to think that they are not all totaly evil.

OK, in short, Nefarion refered to a long, multi page discussion on this on the WOW forums, with good arguments for both sides. For those who can't find it, like me, I humbley ask that Nefarion or anyone else who knows where this is or and link a copy of it do so, thus we can share the love! And we all know Warlocks are evil, how many of you used your 1st infernal to terrorize Goldshire, and your 1st Doom Portal to kill some lowbies
Ok to respond to the post above...
Having infernal and doom portal would depend on spec... as i have tried all 3 and do not have the spells metioned.. well i have the infernal but i do not use it...
Warlock class in general is not evill....However the players can be evil or totally cool people depending on the person behind the lock u meet....
