I was recently contemplating destruction for PVP. I've not yet been able to try any of it out, so take it as theory craft.
Basically I get the feeling that the destruction tree is mostly useful when using your succubus in PVP. You get to capitalize on the higher damage because you don't have to worry about aggro like in PVE. What makes it good for a succubus is it's not focused on DOTs, which break seduction, so you can maximize fear time by buying time with seduction. You can Immolate/nuke while they're feared, then conflagrate near the end of the fear to end the dot for a safe seduction. Since you don't want to use DOTs anyway, you get to capitalize on curse of shadows and improved shadow bolt.
