To anyone who knows German, Yhwach is pronounced as it seems. The Anglicized version of pronunciation I prefer is YOU-vock, just like you've suggested, but even Xilinoc's version EE-vock is ok.

@Shinigami-1: Actually, Kubo's got it (almost) right. The sound of Ü and Y of German is transliterated in Japanese as yu　ユ. Apparently, hard H is transliterated as ha　ハ. And although there exists a transformed ウ (that is, ヴ） in Japanese to show the foreign V sound, no one bothers using it, instead they use バ　ビ　ブ　ベ　ボ (ba bi bu be bo). Ideally, in Japanese it would've been Yūbahha (ユーバッハ).
