Tested in r1 tar pits. Primal mantle procs off strike a chord, the sonic only, damage is very comparable to strike a chord, maybe 1k less on average. Sounding buff from dryad fiddle orb damage seemed to fluctuate between 200-500. Hard to tell how much it did. With dripping in magma and IOD procs damage is reasonable. I am not currently geared, so I am missing 35 crit multi minimum. Of note, my gear is so goofy that I only have +14 enhancement bonus to cha and practically no filigrees benefitting the build. I would guess another 10%(more maybe) damage with gear optimized. Some numbers...
Strike a chord hit for 4-5k, crit for 14-18k. Sonic mantle proc from primal avatar average 3.5k on hit, saw a few 14.5k crits. Hard to tell exactly what does how much with combat log :0
I am intrigued by the obvious quality of life that a raw 60 crit multi adds. It sorta works out...
Edit
I neglected to test if mantle procs on eldritch blast.

I made a video showing me walking through Tar Pits. Hope it helps someone figure out what damage to expect.

Once again, late on this thread. I'm currently playing a first life celestial warlock... but wait!? I tried two ED builds so far... DI tier 5 plus PA Thorn (aoe, single and temp hp( and chose acid for DI (dont use DI not-so-epic strike). Have to say ruin and greater ruin were good. But i wanted better survivability so i swapped PA for EA. The epic Light strike is nice (very good range single target), the mass cmw sla and healing wings are wonderful. I chose the mantle that deals Light and fire damage swirl and married up with DI fire. Its far better survivability wise (melee-caster cc) even with fire as elemental choice. The swirl procs DI 3rd core temp health A LOT.
Now coing back to OP after too much context... i would consider DI with PA for non-melee Feylock... Ever Green also procs frequently adding 100 sp each time. Thorn would work fine i think (at least for acid contribution) but i'd try Sky which will buff your sonic spellpower. Choose elec as DI element, grab the +3 ench DCs and extra +2 CHA. The AOE slas will require both elec and cold items but there is much item synergy between sonic and elec gear.
However, i think my next melee warlock will be Fey, twf CHA CON INT spending 8 AP into Harper for the trance to compensate for loss of bless and prayer.... Fatesinger tier 5 with FotW. ES 41, Harper 8, TS 21, 11 Feydark plus rest if you have any as you want.

Can you share some of the damage numbers you are seeing?

I can, and will test and post later.... it will be interesting for me to breakdown all damage sources. As i stated, this is a (fun) melee caster cc build. I bought a +1 lHoW to have Shadar-Kai pure ES. Arsenal includes EA epic strike, ruin and greater ruin, EBT, EA mantle swirl and chains. All spells max/emp/quickened. Cc EBT, GCS and Mass Hold Monster. Plus Trap the Soul.

There are ways to make blaster locks work, but yeah its not by design. More about stacking high-rate on-cast spellpower-scaling procs like Magma, Acid and RGlory and the ES imbue with lots of dice.

This is very eye opening for me. I never got on the forums all these years until recently, but I was always of the impression that we had a receptive lot of devs here. It has been quite the journey seeing that they really don't give a hoot or holler what any of us has to say at the end of the day.

I've done a bit of blaster lock, at some point it feels like if tool tips were accurate we would have a different game.
