I kind of disagree with that. Stunning has a bigger effect on pvp than you might think. Even if the whole party has holy spell, rendering debuffs and Sleep useless, a warlock can cast Scream Mask on two people and those two people's chances of surviving are increased tenfold. Plus, Holy Spell does not protect from Wheel Bind, which cancels out cleric healing. It can still be removed with Integrity, I think. Not sure. So, yes you are right, their main role is giving out stun buffs and stunning everyone in sight with both stun skills, but they are definitely not useless.
Here is a little story. Once my friend and I were pvping and this nuker jerk that was at least a degree higher came over and killed us repeatedly. I tried casting cleric buffs on my friend, who was a chinese blader, and healing him, but even with those buffs he still died quickly. The answer? Scream Mask. I gave him the cleric defense buffs and scream mask and suddenly we were owning like no tomorrow, with help from a few debuffs. All he had to do was use chains and the 35% chance of stun really added up with the fast consecutive hits of blader skills. The nuker ran away crying, calling Scream Mask "gay" and never bothered us again.
Their most useful buff? Advanced Reflect. Especially with nukers on the opposition, this will give your party a huge advantage because the other team will pretty much help kill themselves. Not to mention the fact that Warlock nukes, although comparatively weak compared to Wizards, still pack a punch.
