Big set of Warlock Changes

[Lissa]

Eyonix posted a pretty detailed detailed post for warlocks, talking about some changes they're getting.

Snippit:
Some DoTs will be same damage, but less time so it'll have a higher DPS.  SM/Ruin will be less cookie cutter, as Ruin's bonus is getting reduced.  Guess this means in duels against warlocks my reaction won't be "tick, tick, tick, tick (80% health), WHOA (10% health).
Blue seems really busy on the forums last two days, here's another notes:
Casting perception won't break stealth.  I'm never dueling Human Rogues again :P

Hmmm...still think I would stick with SM/Ruin, not just because of SM, but also all the things you get along the way to it. With the increase in the number of debuffs and with the change to debuff priority, this could get pretty interesting. As a side effect, they may have to buff Blueberry to hold agro more because of the higher DPS.

I only hope that the Infernal and Doomguard finally become non-enslaves as that is the biggest reason I don't use them. It has nothing to do with their power against two level 60 mobs, it's the fact that the summons turn on me so quickly. At level 60, most rank and file demons (read non-elites) should bow and scrape to the Warlock (elites are not the normal rank and file demons). As such, the Infernal and Doomguard need to be made so they don't come back and beat on the Warlock in 5 minutes times, especially when the spells to summon them (not using CoD to bring in a Doomguard) are on 1 hour timers.
