I've spent some time as a 60 destruction 'lock, and they really aren't so overpowered. I killed people well, died really fast, etc..
Then I specced Felguard, and I was a golden, untouchable god. I went through three AB games with approximately four deaths, still wearing four greens, and one crafted epic. I then went on to farm 55 elites for an hour and a half--maybe 15 seconds of downtime every 5 or 10 mobs, for a quick health funnel. The felguard could basically solo them. But I dropped the kill time to maybe 15-20 seconds each, by throwing a couple of dots. It's just too much damage and control for still having so much survivability.
And, by all I hear, affliction's supposed to be even worse!
