Arathian, all warlocks can turn into demons with metamorphosis, so thats actually wrong.
The honest truth is a draenei warlock is an eredar, no exceptions, if a draenei practiced fel magic they are corrupted and I assume MCed by the legion immediately.
On top of that, Velen would have their heads ripped off.
Same reason night elves arnt warlocks : their leaders would simply obliterate (not even kill, completely destroy) any night elf practicing fel magic because they would corrupt into satyrs.

I never understood how a Draenei who practices fel magic is automatically an Eredar but a Orc who practices fel magic isnt automatically a Fel Orc fcorrupted by the legion. The same goes for Night Elves and Satyrs.

The same goes for Night Elves and Satyrs.There not an Eredar, there considered to be Man'ari Draenei, corrupted version of the original race. Fel Orcs are those who drink the Blood of the Pitlords again, and Night Elves can only be changed into a Satyr by either a Demon Lord or a Satyr lord, it's not just because of the Fel energies.

Then why are Draenei warlocks that big of a problem? If a Human, Gnome, Worgen, Orc, Undead, Blood Elf, and Goblin can practice fel magic and not become mind puppets of the Legion, im sure Draenei can do the same. Alot of people say that it goes againsts the light and the Naaru, but Velen and the Naaru still associate with Alliance warlocks. Why is it so hard for the Draenei to control the fel energies and use the power of the Legion against the Legion itself like other warlock heroes have in the past.

It's just not done for their races... plus, their leader and his friends the Giant glowing crystals, might have a bit to say about that heh. And most warlocks walk a line at all time, to not fall to the Legion, it would be so much harder for a Draenei, a race that is already partially of the Legion, to be corrupted and transformed into a man'ari.

I didn't know the line was so thin for the Draenei. The fear of being corrupted and going down the path of evil. Well, if any race knows the impact of evil on the universe, it would be the Draenei.
Though I would find it hilarious if Velen shot a
Holy Fire
at any Draenei warlock that came through the doors of the Exodar.

You see it during one the quests on Azuremyst, where the Draenei help a night elf, and she calls them Eredar and Legion members. Once they hear that, they become concerned, and that's one of the first times your sent to the Exodar, and starts your Kalimdor tour heh.

If you really want so much Draenei warlock I suggest you to roll a Draenei
shadow priest
it's better than nothing
Well that's the thing. According to lore, there shouldn't be any draenei spriests. So why cant bliz just make up some new "lore" up for spriests and locks, like they did for tauren palys, gnomes priests, nelf mages, etc.

People like you tire me. Blizz didn't just "make up 'lore'" for any of the new class/race combinations. The existing lore fully supports their presence. The only ones I'd say are a bit of a stretch, MAYBE, are Tauren Pallys and Gnome priests. And even then, for Tauren pallys they've implemented it well by not making up lore, but using existing lore. I'm sure they'll do the same for Gnome priests, even though that's really hard to explain. ("we saw the Dwarves doing it and it looked cool, what?")
And if you're going to be picky, lore never says anywhere that Draenei priests cannot be shadow. Shadow magic is NOT fel magic, it's nothing close to it. Technically it's using the Light to create shadows, and then taken advantage of those shadows to deal vengeance and retribution down upon their enemies.
