you cannot be lawful and great old one.
You cannot be good and fiend.
Paladin warlock must be fey.

As Lonnbeimnech said, pal / warlock must be Fey.
You can spend your pts freely between the different PrEs as you see fit; but you can only have one Eldritch Blast Shape Stance active at a time. You are also giving up some Eldritch Blast DPS by MCing 16/3/1: -2d6 from base blast, -2d4 from Pact, plus losing lvl 18 & capstone enhancements.
Thanks alot ppl, really nice to get it perfectly clear. :-)
Hmm...
Back to drawingboard :/

ok, seems that for some reason I can't start my own thread so I am asking here...what do you guys think about build a lvl 3 cleric (moderate cure wounds) lvl 2 warlock (plus 5 umd) and the rest sorc? goal is to have a high dps sorc yet be able to use scrolls like raise dead and heal as well as a few others. any suggestions?

cleric is bad idea. cmw at caster level 3 is not powerful enough to care. you're better off drinking CSW potions.
warlock on the other hand might work. UMD is nice, particularly for new characters. you could also pick up Consume and Stricken SLAs. Also Feigned Health could offer some nice temporary HP.

Cleric is not necessarily a "bad" idea. 3 levels of Cleric gives you
+3% universal crit
+18 universal spellpower
+18 fire spellpower (or +15 force, or another +9 universal)
So Cleric isn't a bad idea, it just isn't the best idea.
2 level of FvS gives you
+30 fire/light/alignment/force spellpower
+4% light/alignment/fire/force crit
+3 save vs magic
+10 temp spellpoints when casting fire/mm spells
As for Warlock, a CHA based sorc does not need Warlock in order to use raise dead and heal. Half ranks into UMD + CHA bonus has proven to be sufficient. Warlock would certainly make it easier, but not necessary.
I'm not really sure that anything from Warlock would be better than, say, Wizard.
