A lot of improvements can be made.
Felguard spec is fine for your level - but if you're going felguard, you won't be using a lot of your other minions, ever. So lets start by straightening out that demo tree.

This is an example of a good demo tree to felguard. You don't quite have the points for it yet, but you can easily drop one from Demonic Knowledge or Demonic Tactics. You're taking a lot more damage talents in the place of some rather useless ones early in the tree. Mana Feed doesn't require all three points - 1-2 will keep your felguard happily cleaving away. You won't voluntarily be running the imp (or, heaven forbid, the VW), so why spend points on it? Impr Succubus isn't needed and neither is Impr Health Funnel. The end result is you'll be hitting a lot harder, which is always a good thing when leveling.
From there, you can either go down the destro tree for Impr Shadow Bolt and Bane, or pick up Impr Corruption. Both will be good for you.

Indeed, Dunsinane says it all really. This is another classic example of the fact that if you level 1->50 going down the demon tree, you really need to respec when you hit 50 because a lot of the points you spent along the way (like imp VW) are not needed any more when the Felguard arrives. It's a shame that it not a more commonly known bit of info.

Spell/shadow damage is more important than stamina is more important than intellect until you reach level 70.

I agree with everything except this, the 2pts from Imp HS should be in Imp HF for soloing. Being able to heal your personal tank better when soloing is much more valuable than a boost in self heal every 2m with a HS. The loss of Imp HS will only be noticed in groups.
Not counting boosts from gear it will heal an extra 238 pts and cost 238 pts less health

Along the lines of what Blightman said, Improved Health Funnel is very much needed for a fel guard build. Even with Demonic Resilience, he's going to take a lot of damage, so that extra boost will help a warlock out in keeping him going.
I'd use this build at 52:

I've leveled with felguard and never felt any need for Impr Health Funnel. The bonus is mediocre at best, and if you're using the spell thoughtfully and targeting reasonable mobs your pet should never be in danger.

Actually, now that I think about this, I don't agree. Before a player gets to the Outland, the best choice for them is "of the Eagle" greens and quest blues that do stamina. The issue is there's very little spelldmg gear in Azeroth that also has stamina on it that a player can get while leveling.
Once you begin to acquire the shadoweave set in the late-30s, the amount of shadow damage a warlock can have is actually fairly significant. This continues with the felweave set. Faster killing = faster leveling.

It is not "the coolest talent ever" but it is more useful to a FG lock day in day out than Imp HS is.
Remember the healing scales with your spell damage gear so its not that mediocre as you start getting outland gear. In my farming gear it usually heals for about 270+ a tick.
There are 3 general times you will need Hlth Fnl:
A) When grinding to recharge on the go: if your FG gets low on health use Hlth Fnl and then DL on a mob. If you do this right you should not need to stop for food or drink....
ever
B) When soloing a non-demon elite(and there is not an enslaveable elite demon around). Use CoW-Corruption-Hlth Fnl, repeat until you have won. You will notice every bit of healing on these. This tactic worked like a charm on
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=20779
C) In an instance when you healer is busy healing the tank and your FG is in trouble. If he goes down you lose all those spell damage bonuses he gives you. That extra 200+ health on the 1st tick can mean a whole lot.
