Unless you're a sorcerer, in which case you get to add 3 or 4 to every damage roll ever. Ever. Duke Nukem Forever.

So is the gist here that, if the Warlock were to do the same, it wouldn't be unbalancing?

Several warlock builds would hate this. Starlocks, frex.

I think the jury is still out.
Two things to keep in mind... (1) on a crit, the Warlock's curse dice are maxed, and (2) the Warlock apparently has better controller-ish "special effects" and special abilities, like Shadow Walk and their Pact Boons, so adding even more damage would actually make them better than the Sorcerer.
I don't think it would destroy your game, though. Warlocks don't have too many AoE's to begin with, and if you restrict their striker damage to Warlock spells, you could keep it even more under control.

Seeing as though Int is a secondary stat for warlocks (who are either Cha/Int or Con/Int or a mix of the two), I don't see why. "+ Int" damage would be in addition to the primary stat modifier.

Whoa, wait! Curse dice are not maximized on a crit! You only maximize the damage in the power's description, be it [W] or a dice notation. :/I think the jury is still out.
