Viable? Not yet. We need more Demons to make the new Voidcaller have more useful targets. Some more demon utility cards, outside of Sense Demon and Demon Fire, would also be great.
The existing demons are all just awful with the exception of doomguard/flame imp/voidwalker... So I really expect they intend on changing that because otherwise Voidcaller will be the least useful among the new class cards. Specially because the text reads: "put a demon from your HAND into play", not from your deck. So the bigger chances are that you won't have any demon in hand (flame imp/voidwalker are 1 mana, so already down by then), maybe and rarely a doomguard. Unless people start holding pitlords to put them into play without the battlecry drawback (I don't see this as a trustful strategy though...)
Anyone thinking this will be a viable deck? possible midrange deck?
I am hoping lock will be able to play a competitive demon deck. Does anyone have any decks they have been working on? Please post!

I still think there is a possibility to make a full deck out of what is there. :)
You didn't ask for "possibility" but for "viability". It just isn't (yet).
ok ok. I meant a viable competative demon deck

Would just like to point out that TotalBiscuit did a deck containing all of the demons. It didn't go so well, see for yourself:
