The curses (Shadow and Elements) do wacky things to damage because of how resistance damage boost/reduction is dealt with by the server. If you take out the curses, the only time you might see the Warlock beat the Mage or Rogue on single target damage is with Crits. The curses is the only reason a Warlock can significantly out damage other classes when setup with an SM/Ruin build (the highest damage build available to the Warlock).

Call it whatever you like. Curses are streaky in small samples but provide a huge damage boost, whatever the reason, over time. That needs to be weakened, and if "look at their code" works for you better than "nerf" sure. Warlocks shouldn't be outdamaging rogues. They shouldn't even be outdamaging mages.
