After the patch I tried out demonology, down to Soul Link. I enjoyed it and it was extremely versatile, but not really my style of play. Prior to the patch I was mostly affliction with some demonology.
After playing around with demonology for a while, I finally decided to try out the cookie cutter SM/Ruin build and I am absolutely loving it.
My tactics while soloing go like this:
1. send in succubus and let her land one hit and one lash of pain.
2. Curse of Agony, Corruption, Siphon Life, Shadow bolt, Immolate. The SB and immolate will hit at the same time if you are at max range, and will pull aggro off the succubus.
3. Turn and run! Stop a few times to throw some wand shots and life tap once or twice. When they get low, which happens pretty quickly with 4 dots and a succubus whipping them, turn around and shadowburn ftw.
4. Look back on your victory and be happy that you have ended the fight with 85% life and mana, or higher.
5. Rinse (optional), and repeat.
You should probably listen to Dragoon though, he wrote a lot!
