Just to add on to what Bolty has said, if you look around and read some of the strategies that people using the Warrior/Warlock tanking method is that very few people bother with trying to get proxy aggro off Vek'lor. My understanding from what I have read is that before 1.11, Vek'lor didn't AB much at all and usually you could get proxy aggro without getting ABed and also he rarely meleed when in melee range which has also changed as he will melee now instead of shadowbolting most the time if you're in melee range.
Just make sure you have a lot of +hit and no threat reduction and you should be able to pull him off the tank very quickly (I use Shadowburn, Deathcoil when available, Searing Pain, and Curse of Doom when we have extra Warlocks around to put up CoE and CoS on him).
I have also found that if you can get the right gear, and it requires the trash in AQ40 to co-operate, you can achieve enough SR without having to go MD/Ruin for this fight. I'm very close to acquiring everything I need (if Geddon co-operates this weekend, the trash finally coughs up a Garb, and I can farm a little more plant, skellie, and/or spider bits, I'll be set):
Head: Nemesis Skullcap w/ Shadow Guard
Neck: Amulet of Shadow Shielding
Shoulder: Felheart Shoulders w/ Shadow Mantle of the Dawn
Back: Cloak of Untold Secret w/ Lesser Shadow Resistance
Chest: Garb of the Royal Ascension w/ Greater Stats or Major Health
Wrist: Bracers of Arcane Accuracy w/ Greater Intellect or Superior Stamina
Hands: Nemesis Gloves w/ Fire Power
Waist: Nemesis Belt
Legs: Runed Stygian Leggings w/ Shadow Guard
Feet: Runed Stygian Boots w/ Greater Stamina
Finger: 2 Green +20 Shadow Resistance Rings
Trinket: Ward of Elements and Nelatharion's Tear
Weapon: Azuresong Mageblade
Off Hand: Royal Scepter of Vek'lor
Wand: Bonecreeper Stylus
This will put me at 230 unbuffed SR which is enough to get you to 315 SR with Prayer of Shadow Protection, Gift of Arthas, and Demon Armor. This also gives me +6 to hit which means that roughly 1 in 10 spells are going to miss, but I don't see any real way to get more than +7 to hit without going back to MD/Ruin or gimping your SR.
