Getting back to the talent discussion after the diversion into "Are warlocks the greatest or not?"...
I think my warlock's respec costs are up to about 20 gold now (including the free respec in the last patch). I agree with all the posters that recommend Affliction as the way to go while levelling.
End-game there are different options: Dark Pact builds, Soul Link builds, SM / Ruin, MD / Ruin. Instant Conflagarate will probably lead to more destruction 'locks out there.
I'm currently specced to Master Demonologist / Ruin, and I'm pretty happy with it. You get the nice burst damage from crits, with a fair amount of flexibility via your pets. The talent I'm really missing is Suppresion - since Curse of Shadows seems to get resisted often or wiped off the debuff list rapidly in MC.
I've also found Destructive Reach useful in MC, since there are numerous bosses you want to ping Shadowbolts at from as far away as possible.
