Damage Reduction Stacking for Dragonslayers

The description for DS DR is that it stacks only with epic DR feats and Great Resistance, but as Dragonslayer being PrC built on Warlock (as it provide both EB and invocation progression) it makes no sense that it does not stack with Warlock DR. Also reading Fey Skin decription - it states that it stacks with any class feat/DR.

Things are vague, because two statments oppose and negate each other, while there is no sense to not have DR not stacking with warlock DR.

Is there anyone who can shed some light on it? Did anyone ever mixed Fey skin feat, Warlocks and Dragonslayer levels? Can explain how DR stacking works in this case? Which statements "override" others?

I'm fairly certain it's an engine limitation... but for warlock specifically their dr is cold iron isn't it? DR of different types never stack.

Fey skin DR feats stack on Warlock DR

Warlock DR does not stack with Epic DR feats. Only Barbarian and Dwarf Defender do stack on Epic DR from what I understand.

I WISH warlock DR stacked with Epic DR, but as it's a different TYPE of DR, I doubt it will.
Barbarian and Dwarf DR are broad spectrum DR.
Warlock DR is only Cold Iron or Alch Silver DR. Much the same as Favored Souls. So some things will bypass the Warlock DR. Including having its Fey feats on top.

Dragonslayer, Annointed Knight/Warrior of Darkness and Bloodmage DR will all stack with Epic DR feats, but they will not stack with themselves or with Barbarian/Dwarven Defender DR.
