Doing Demo atm, just hit 28 and its much faster then Affliction was on my previous lock. Felguard is a beast

Can't speak for the other talents but my 64 Demo is levelling in Hellfire and mana use is almost a non-issue. Between that, felguard and the crits I'm getting (+5000! once), I just solo'd a group quest against 62 and 63 elites (my Demo was 63 at the time) without even fully grasping the procs yet. Almost wonder if they made a mistake...... Waiting for all this power to be patched away......

Between
Life Tap
and
Soul Harvest
, I think any spec is viable for leveling easily, perhaps even more so than before, but demo may well be equal with afflic for best now. I think it still holds true that afflic will have less drink/eat downtime and the demo will still be better for facing down elites and/or multiple mobs of higher level than you, but I think the down time difference with these two spells will be non-existant now. In fact I really want to roll another warlock (maybe a worgan) as it seems like it will be even more fun that it was the first time around. If that is actually possible.

What is your rotation and glyphs for demo? I may try it out. I'm only level 40 right now though.
Your post reminded me that my prepatch glyphs were for Destro. Went to look and now have no glyphs. I'm still experimenting with rotations and that was kinda the point of my post. Demo is very powerful now right out of the box.
These rotations are working for me so far for normal mobs.
Soul Fire - Searing Pain - and at this point the mob is so close to death I just wand em
Immolate - Incinerate - Hand of Gul'dan and the last is overkill
Elites
So far pulling out all stops and seeing what works.... it all does
Void for the bubble and demo empowerment going in
Bane of Doom - Doomguard - (Corr - CoA no crits here so far but instants get the damage started) Imm - Inc - HoG - spam SB or SL/SM as needed and start back at Imm.
No Doubt Felguard could get the job done but when in doubt, I bubble.
Dear jaded/sarcastic lock readers, please don't think I'm saying this is THE formula for max dps at my level. It's just what's worked for me in PvE so far sans glyphs.

I agree with FoaL, it's not about rotation it's about using whatever kills things the fastest. I found at most levels it wasn't worth using dots on anything except a dungeon boss.
