So, I've plumbed all I can from the search function, and can't seem to find anything on this.
When I played 4e, the only thing that really grabbed me about it was the Warlock class: and it grabbed me hard. The idea of an offensive-focused blaster/debuffer with strange curses upon him was really evocative to me. In particular, I liked the "choose your poison" of picking one of the three pacts, and your spells would be modified based off of your pact.
There's nothing really like it in Pathfinder. The fluff is somewhere between the Oracle and the Sorcerer, but it's more than that too. And the crunch isn't really represented except in a few random conjuration & necromancy spells here and there. There is no way to focus in on this idea.
Has anyone done a conversion of the 4e Warlock? (I see plenty of the 3.5 Warlock, but that's something else entirely.) Obviously doing a direct conversion is impossible, but has anyone attempted to port over the themes and concepts of this class?

Elghinn Lightbringer's done a conversion of the 3.5 Warlock that adds in some of the flavor and abilities of the 4e pacts, though it's much more a 3e Warlock than a 4e one. The specific post is here, but you can read through the whole "Conversion Discussions of Noncore Classes" thread in the conversions forum.
