Not posted for a while, not been playing quite so much, what with hot weather and all. I have made some progress though.
Maezyn
I spent a number of hours levelling her leathercrafting to something respectable. This involved farming thick leather in Blasted Lands (just outside dark portal) and then rugged leather in Winterspring. I bought the last stack or so of rugged on the AH as I couldn't stand the farming any more. All I made I sent to Maexyn for disenchanting. Maezyn then used all her Knothide leather to get up to 307.
At this level she can start making Felscale Gloves, the first item in the Felscale Armour set that ultimately yields heaps of agility and attack power. Good Stuff. The only odd ingredient these things need is Fel Scales that drop from ravagers.
She is 70% of the way to level 61.
Maesyn
Maesyn spent time in Darkshire killing easy (lvl 20) wolves and in Wetlands killing harder (lvl 26) Dinosaurs. She was level 26 and wasn't very dominant against equal level dinosaurs, lots of drinking and downtime. Most killing was cat form, any bear form work is still very poor, she struggles against two equal level mobs. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, maybe leaving the shift to bear form too late, don't know. Did the obligatory Sarltooth kill, him being 29 and very close fight, Maesyn was left with nothing visible in her health bar. Cat form isn't all that pew pew but maybe it gets better at higher levels?
Go to level 27. Here I tried gearing her up with level 27 kit, Maezyn made her some barbaric bracers, a blue, and Maexyn enchanted what she could.
Maexyn
Now Maexyn IS pew pew. At level 40 she was grinding level 43 dragon whelps in badlands relentlessly. I was using the Imp as a mana battery and doing this she can kill continually, not downtime required, just top up the mana from the imp at the end of each fight. It was very sustainable, the only limiting factor to fighting like this is the durability problems from Maexyn being hit so much by dragon fireballs.
The dragon whelps didn't drop anything nice like quest objectives or whelplings but did drop a new +stamina warlock pointy hat that increased her stamina by about 10%. It's blue and doesn't go with her purple robes but stamina is stamina.
She went to STV and carried on grinding level 43 naga but these hit harder and she had to switch to voidwalker which she continued with. She's a few quest turnins from level 42 (eighties pop group blah blah).
Saw a moonkin druid doing a kill/drink/kill/drink slog while Maexyn killed one venture co after another. I hope druid play doesn't get too pally like.
Enjoying warlock at the moment, nice and over powered. It takes a level 43 elite dragon to stop her and then she has soulstone up so it isn't a big deal.
I had a browse through her stocks of enchanting materials. I find it hard to follow which items are which level but I've auctioned all her strange dust as I'm not sure she still needs it. For all the other stuff: lesser/greater dream/vision/nether/astral/whatever dust/shards I have no real idea of what is useful and what isn't. I found that she had over 100g's worth in one stack of six shards so her stocks are worth something.

Hya,
Yeah, cat form gets better as you level, obviously, but in particular a nice stealth-stun "Pounce" (from any angle) giving you a combo-point is nice as you can then go behind the mob and use the "Shred" ability. You also get a stun/attack ability that is in proportion to the number of combo-points that you have :o)
