From a warlock point of view, I'd have to echo what Lissa said about Fel Armor and Incinerate.
The extra damage from Fel Armor is nice, but what you *really* notice is the extra 20% healing. You get some quite ridiculous numbers when large heals crit.
With a full Destruction spec, Incinerate essentially does the same damage as Shadowbolt for less mana. Since Destruction is probably the most mana inefficient warlock spec (compared to say Affliction locks who barely have to eat or drink at all), I really like. The casting graphic is cool too. It's just nice to have a spammable fire spell that isn't the low damage-high threat Searing Pain (a winning combination if ever there was one).
I could see the spell being very popular with Warlocks who put zero points in Destruction because of the base 2.5 second cast time.
Two of our warlocks have hit 70 already (nutters...), and I did a Blood Furnace run with one yesterday and got to see Ritual of Souls in action.
Three word summary: Lightwell for warlocks
It's a ritual like Summoning, but once cast you have a clickable gem with 10 Master Healthstone charges. Clicking the gem puts the Healthstone in your inventory instantly - no loot box or anything. Vorix would cast it before boss fights; we could then use the Healthstone in battle, run back to the gem and restrock mid-fight. I think I used one Soulwell about 3 times.
I officially declare it "Best warlock spell *ever*". (Once more mages see it, they'll be demanding "Fountain of Vending" - just wait!).
