ok i have a lv 64 rogue and was thanking about making a lock twink just to be different i origanaly started off playing a lock but its been almost half a years worth of patches sence ive played her and now wana start one on my mains server for the cash benifit so i want to ask u some questions also any input/advice on playing would be nice (im more then a lil rusty)
1) what level bracket is best for a twink lock (ie rogues have been known as great 10-19 twinks)
2) what spec would be best for 1.leveling up to this bracket 2.fighting in this bracket
3)does any one of u know any links for a site that might have a list of good twink gear for a lock within this bracket
4) any other fighting techniques(sp) or stratagies for fighting any of the other classes (i read another post about hardest class and hunters rogues and druids are among the hardest classes)
5) which is better humans or gnomes (i personaly like gnomes) which is stronger due to their racials
(opion question) and one last thing (that realy would be better asked on trade forum) wut do u think JC/enchanting or JC/mining (keep in mind this is a twink)

1.for twinking its either 29 or 39. on my lock when i did AB or WSG i mainly saw 29 and 39 twinks.
2.and both dm and destruction can be used for leveling, ive havent seen to many affliction leveling warlocks. and for pvp it would be destruction, cause at low levels dm sucks unless you have spells like soul link and hve a felguard. so i would say destruction.
3. nope sry
4.just fear, dot, and SB all you can is what i can think of atm, i would lokk in forums.

This is a twink, so we know you aren't going to be in it for the money...
If you go for enchanting, you would be best in the 39 bracket, because then you can cast fairly high-level enchants on your own stuff (not the TBC enchants, though). You won't ever need mining if you're rich enough to buy ore/bars/gems/other at the AH, so you might think of two crafting professions. If you're set on JC, you might also consider Alchemy - make your own booster potions. Or Engineering - blow things up.
If you have a miner alt to support the twink, make the twink ENGI/JC. JC for statuettes and useful trinkets - engi for all sorts of useful things.
19 locks are weak. But if you join a bg 19 guild, they are a great support char. Fear ftw.
29 locks are stronger but still weakish. Again, better at support than smacking down. Succubus charms one while you fear another. Dot dot dot what you fear.
39 locks are better but are still very vulnerable to rogues and wars. Again, more of a support role. You're going to have a hard time one on one killing other twink classes, esp war and rogue (a twink sham will give u a hard time even).
49 locks can be twinked and can finally hold their own, mostly because of death coil. You can actually get a twinked rogue or war off you and, if you know what you're doing, kill them.
That's very general, but it's been my experience.

gnome are better able to evade traps, humans have better stealth detection - a tossup.
Since you are planning on being Alliance, It would do you good to learn those support roles Iponemagirl posted about. It's not all about killing opponents, it's about winning. If you can fear a flag carrier at the right time, it might make the difference between a win and a loss, even if it costs you a kill. HKs aren't everything.

i know about that with my rogue ive had to throw out blinds on flag carriers then sap a protecter so others could get them then i usualy die but the flag carrier is wandering aimlessly around and another is saped for 12 seconds

Amen, Mike!
I so hate it when my side loses but has way more kills. Means otherwise competent players are playing simply to kill and not to win the game. W/ diminishing points per same person killed (I think that's still in effect), it's not worth what a lot of players think it is.
You may be tired of engi, but engi is SO valuable in BG. Netgun ftw! Bombs stunning healers ftw! And many more. Go study what you can do even at 29 w/ an engi (esp a gnome). A gnome engi can, at 29, wear a deepsea diving helm. Killer stamina! I remember a gnome mage I used to play w/ named Nasaspaceman or something. He was a scream! (Gnomes can use a few really nice items at 29 that others can't because of the engi racial).
JC - expensive to work up - but it is useful. How useful, I dunno. Tailoring for the netherweave net - but it's tailor skill 300. I *think* it's usable in 49 BG. But I'm not 100% sure. It's expensive w/out a 60+ alt to grind netherw for u. GL!
40-49 bracket is the funnest to twink in, IMO. For a caster at least.
There's actually some decent cloth gear out there at that point to complement all your spell damage or stamina enchants.
In all honesty, at those lower levels, Engineering is WAY better than Jewelcrafting. And if you have the money to just buy Enchants from other people, then some of the jewelcrafting items are better than Enchanting your own stuff.
Alchemy is good for making your own potions constantly, unlike Enchanting which you will Enchant your twink gear once and never use it again. Kind of the same with Jewelcrafting, you'll make some of the stuff and that will be it for the profession as a twink.
I'd suggest Engineering and then either Alchemy or Jewelcrafting for a twink Lock.
P.S. Gnome > Human for twinking :P Unless you carry lots of Free Action Potions. Then again, there are stealth detection potions too which are as good as Perception.
