The only problem I have with the bonds is that they are the least noticeable of the class related items, you can spot a hunter cloak from a mile away, see a titans sash from a mile away, but you have to get a microscope to see what the warlock is wearing. So I voted for a more flashy approach, because I understand how the warlocks are trying to be mysterious but there is no reason not to look bad ass while doing it.
