A lot of difference where one class is only getting disrupted if special attacks are applied verses another class that can be disrupted by any attack that does damage.
Having primarily played a warlock, I think it is a nice distinction. The disruption possibility becomes another factor in whether I use my spells, my wand, or my dagger (and yes, a warlock can finish monsters with a dagger if it comes down to that). Of course, the key here is that the warlock has his demons, and fear, to neutralize two mobs in a solo context, plus bloodstones etc. if things go bad. A priest is similar, having the shielding ability, the sleeping one, and the healing spell. I don't think spell disruption is the problem. It may be that mages just haven't been given a diverse enough skill set to solo effectively.
