I've liked 2 Hellfire, 1 Shadowflame, 2 Defender of Argus more than 1 Hellfire, 2 Shadowflame, 1 Defender, 1 Siphon Soul. Six mana is too much nowadays for a 1-for-1 removal spell, resilient threats like Shredder / Highmane embarrass it :(

I kinda agree on both points, actually. I was running 2 Hellfire 1 flame for a while and there were just so many situations where I wished I had a wrath that could deal more than 3 damage or that didn't hurt me, so when I opened a second flame 3 days ago I thought I'd try it out, and now I'm seeing the inherent problems of that.
I think the "last slot" in the deck should be either 2nd defender, 2nd bgh or Siphon

It also feels shitty to burn your Shadowflame early knowing that you won't draw another

I'd keep siphon soul and drop zombie chow for the second hellfire. I feel like the one drop is seldom useful where as the second hellfire is often much appreciated.

None of this is really relevant anymore. Demon handlock is a far superior deck, and it's so much more proactive, meaning zero Siphon Soul, no Sylvannas, and only one of each sweeper.

Malylock has been really good for me; its nice and proactive which is good right now.

[deck]Malygos Warlock[/deck]
Class (11)
2 Mortal Coil
1 Soulfire
2 Darkbomb
2 Imp Gang-boss
1 Hellfire
2 Imp-losion
1 Shadowflame

Neutral (19)
1 Zombie Chow
1 Acidic Swamp Ooze
1 Ironbeak Owl
1 Big Game Hunter
1 Defender of Argus
2 Twilight Drake
2 Twilight Guardian
2 Antique Healbot
2 Azure Drake
2 Blackwing Corruptor
1 Sludge Belcher
1 Emperor Thaurissan
1 Chillmaw
1 Malygos
[/deck]

You could make Sludge Belcher into Syvanas, but she hasn't felt that great. Could also switch out Chillmaw, but its been very good for me.
