I know I'm late in the game on this one, but I just picked up Warlock. Though up a build that seems to have some synergy. This may have already been tried out, I dunno. If it has, please give me pointers.
12 Favored Soul
4 Fighter
4 Warlock
Race is Purple Dragon Knight. (could also work with Bladeforged, if you sub the Fighter with Paladin. In fact, it would work better, but I don't have Bladeforged, so I won't build for it :p)
Most every attribute point goes into Constitution and Charisma.
I can Raise Dead, cast Heal....the good level spells, up to level 6. Favored Soul gives CHA to hit and damage with Mauls and gives the special feats that give a Maul better crit profile. So already, since CHA is a main stat, not horribly shabby with dps.
But not a dps build. Fighter (through Stalwart Defender) gives +6 stacking CON, +20% hp, good resistance and heavy armor. Now I'm tanky. If you went Bladeforged, and used Paladin levels instead, you still get all this, plus amazing saving throw bonuses.
With Warlock, I can UMD scrolls of teleport (I'm spoiled on teleport). But more importantly, I can use my Enlightened Spirit aura to give myself and my allies temp HP equal to my high CON score, every five seconds. When I cast any spell (like Mass Aid or Heal) on my allies, it also (through Tainted Scholar) gives temp HP equal to my CHA score.
In epic, will run as a Unyielding Sentinel.
This is a healer/buffer/tank who is fairly hard to drop, in theory.
I almost always just stick with playing ranged dps classes, so this is new for me. But here is the enhancements:
