Warlock's Imp dps intended?

With decent gear, Imps do a flat out 600+ dps by themselves, and the warlock himself does plenty too. 600 dps is the damage output of a half-decent geared mage at 70. Is that called balanced? Discuss.

We will be implementing a hotfix this evening that temporarily removes the Warlock Imp’s spell damage coefficient as it was performing far in excess of our intention. This will remove any spell damage bonuses from improving the Imp’s attacks. We are currently on schedule to be implementing the correct values with the next patch. While we are able to effectively block the spell damage bonus with a hotfix it will require a client side patch to input the intended spell damage bonus the Imp is receiving.

Q u o t e:
so what all it takes to get the warlock class nerfed now is some whiny loser to come on the general boards and make a post?

I placed it in a thread that just happened to be bringing up a concern for a hotfix we had been working on for the better part of the day. It's good to be addressing a concern directly when possible, and it happened to fit.
