You should probably listen to Dragoon though, he wrote a lot!

I agree with listening to Dragoon, he's provided some solid advice. So has Lissa, although his suggested affliction tree doesn't include the all-mighty curse of exhaustion.

My tactics while soloing go like this:

Weak equipment (just teasing/showing off). I've got over 350 in +shadow damage now, and am specced for damage.

Standard mobs tend to die like this:

Shadowbolt, shadowbolt, pet attacks, shadowbolt, dead.

If I get a crit, its one less shadowbolt.

Point is, locks can output an insane amount of damage while generally staying behind the aggro curve if the tank is both good and well equipped. Brush off the damage if he is not.
