I took the opportunity on the test realm to respec to a 31 / 20 destruction / affliction build.

I'd probably drop the two points in improved Searing Pain, for 2 points in Intensity for PvE, although some of the motivation for testing this build was better PvP viability.

Right now, the raid-instances are heavily weighted against fire damage, but I expect more zones are going to show up where the mobs have high shadow resistance and Shadowlocks will suffer.

Conflagorate is a very nice spell now. Instant cast, good damage, low mana cost. It has a 10 second cooldown and you need to "prime" the mob with Immolate first, but it gives the warlock some impressive burst damage: you could potentially hit a player with Shadowbolt-Deathcoil-Conflagorate-Shadowburn in quick succession.

Pros and cons compared to my current MD / Ruin spec:

Instant corruption again.
Occasional Nightfall procs.
More damage options with high burst damage ability.
Extra range on affliction spells.

Downside:

No buffed pets.
No Demonic Sacrifice or MD buffs
NO Improved Health Stone, Improved Impoved Imp, or Demonic Embrace.
No fast cast pets.
