I've had good results from a 31 Affliction/ 20 Demonology build on Pavis. Dark Pact is very nice, and robust pets do help. I feel I got very good mileage out of Improved Voidwalker early on. Currently Pavis' solo style uses a Succubus and drain tanking, which takes some getting used to but has very little downtime.
The downside of my build is that the massive crits just won't happen without some investment in Destruction. Thus his DPS is not terribly high for a warlock, and this may hurt him in the end game.
The canonical blast-em build is 30 Affliction (for Shadow Mastery) and 21 Destruction (for Ruin). With the recent changes, this may be rivalled by a Demonology/Ruin build. I don't have much affection for Master Demonologist because I feel it forces my choice of pets whereas Affliction is not pet-specific and I can use the pet with the best abilities for the situation.
