With the free respec, I dusted off my old 58 warlock and went for the new demonology talents. As I'm all alone most of the time on my realm, I needed a way to grind my way to 60. I was happy with Master Demonologist with the voidwalker, and went crazy with damage not caring if I got aggro because I could soul link. It was fun and I felt pretty solid for a cloth wearer, but there is down time waiting for the voidy to get mana back. With this setup, I carelessly picked a fight with a named elite dragon in Winterspring while not full on mana or life (he looked like the other non-elites in the area) and with no soul or healthstone. It got pretty hairy and I went through two voidwalkers, but I still won the fight. I didn't like the down time of this tactic, though the solo power was nice.
My current tactics (hit 59) now include demonic sacrificing of the voidwalker (not to be confused with sacrifice, a voidwalker spell) to get the health regeneration. Then I go sans pet and tank myself, using the extra life for healing and for mana. There is no downtime unless I take on multiple mobs.
My setup is 31 Demonology, 20 Affliction. Soul link and Nightfall/Grim reach being the top talents in each tree, but I probably would have been better served with 30/21 to get siphon life with the soloing I do with demonic sacrifice. In groups, I plan on using the succubus for added damage and crowd control. My gear is +shadow damage or +stam, and not of high quality. Mostly AH greens.
Edit: I miss Ruin..
