I have been trying to compile information on what the fury yields and costs are for various abilities. This information is incomplete and subject to change:

<Abilities that Yield Demonic Fury>

Passive regen while OOC................ +10/sec for 20 seconds (up to 200/1000)
Landing a killing blow in Meta......... +100
Landing a killing blow in caster....... +0*
Shadow Bolt..................................... +25/cast
Corruption........................................ +4/tick (x9 base ticks=36/cast, but refreshed indefinitely)
Hellfire.............................................. +3/tick/target
Harvest Life...................................... +10/tick/primary target, +2/tick/secondary target
Soul Fire........................................... +30/cast
Hand of Gul’dan............................... +0 (but applies Shadowflame)
Shadowflame................................... +2/tick/target (x6 base ticks=12/target)
Wild Imp (passive)............................ +5/Fire bolt, 10 Fire bolts/per Imp, 6 imps/2 minutes (300fury/120seconds)
Fel Flame.......................................... +15/cast
Demon Minion's basic attacks ......... Averages +1fury/5 energy used (e.g. -60 energy = +12 fury)

--------------------------------------------------------------

<Abilities that Cost Demonic Fury>

Passive decay while OOC.................. -?/sec, you have ~20 seconds after leaving combat before decay begins (down to 200/1000)
Passive cost in meta.......................... -6/sec
Touch of Chaos.................................. -40/cast
Doom................................................. -60/cast; +50/crit (criticials summon a wild imp)
Immolation Aura................................ -0/activation, -25/second
Cursed Auras.................................... -50/activation**
Harvest Life (meta)........................... -30/cast; -30/tick
Soul Fire (meta)................................. -160/cast
Soul Fire + Molten Core (meta) ........ -80/cast
Chaos Wave...................................... -120/cast
Carrion Swarm.................................. -50/cast
Sleep................................................. -60/cast
Demonic Leap................................... -50/cast
Void Ray............................................ -40/cast
Glyph of Imp Swarm ......................... -0/cast; but you generate fewer Imps per minute (net loss of 50/2 minutes)†
Demon Minion's special abilities........ opportunity cost of 1 fury/5 energy used

* You gain fury when you kill an enemy in Metamorphosis, but you don't gain fury if you are in caster form, try to always be in Meta just as an enemy dies, even if it means shifting into meta at the last 0.5 seconds and not actually attacking in meta per se. you want that fury!
**Auras of the Elements last 2 minutes, the buff persists in caster form and can be cast out of combat, relying on OOC regeneration to refund the cost between pulls, Aura of the Elements will not aggro mobs. Aura of Enfeeblement only lasts 30 seconds.
†Imp Swarm is useable in both caster and in Metamorphosis but instead of generating 6 Imps per 2 minute period you only generate 5 Imps per 2 minute period, Reducing the damage done and fury gained over time in exchange for increasing your on-demand burst.

• Fury management is divided into three types of phases: a Build-up phase; a Maintenance phase; and a Burn phase, similar to an Arcane Mage's mana regeneration, maintenance and burn phases.

Basically you when you have Dark Soul available you want to be at 1000 fury: you pop Dark Soul and your trinket, and an intellect potion, and your Bood Fury (if an Orc), and your grimoire of Sacrifice or Service (if you have them), and your Doomguard, and you burn off all your fury on Touch of Chaos. Then you need to build fury back to ~950, and maintain fury between 750-950 for the remainder of the cooldown of Darksoul. You never want to cap out on fury during the maintenance phase and you never want to be at less than 900 fury when Dark Soul is up (ideally you want to be 1000 again).

-(Build-up) During the build-up you want to follow the priority until you are sitting at about 950~1000 fury.

-(Burn) Dark Soul is very much like an Arcane Mage's Arcane Power/Burn phase where you pop all your cooldowns and spam the @#$% out of your main nuke and drain all of your primary resource. In this case your nuke is ToC. Dark soul has a two minute cooldown and can be stacked with Grimoire of Service or Grimoire of Sacrifice, as well as Blood Fury if you are an Orc, and any 1-minute or 2-minute on-use trinkets.

-(Build-up Again) as before get back up to 950~1000 fury.

-(Maintenance) While you are waiting for Dark Soul to come off cooldown you want to mantain your Fury, hovering between 750 and 950. Enter Meta every time you approach 1000 fury to burn a little excess off. Also enter Meta when you need to refresh Doom and/or extend the duration of Corruption. the priority is the same as Build up with the addition of ToC to burn excess Fury above 950

The trick is to have ~1000 Fury right as your next DS becomes available. Then you Burn again.

One note: If your target is above 25% health, do not use Soul Fire (+Molten Core) while in Metamorphosis. Reserve your stacks of Molten Core for when you revert to caster form and use SF+MC in place of Shadow Bolt. However, once you get the ability Decimation, you will get a stack of Molten core whenever you cast Shadow Bolt or Soul Fire or Touch of Chaos on a target below 25% health, this means that as soon as your target is below 25% health, Soul Fire entirely replaces both Touch of Chaos in Meta and Shadow Bolt in Caster form.

Alnair, these tips have proved helpful in understanding some of the dynamic of the new abilities for Demonology, thanks for posting these.

Demonic Fury is the new resources for Demonology Warlock, one can have 1,000 Demonic Fury max.
it generate by:

Shadow Bolt (+25)
Soul Fire (+30, guaranteed to critical)
Corruption (+4 each tick)
Hand of Gul'dan (+2 each tick, have 2 charges)
Fel Flame (+15)
Drain Life (+10 per sec) / Harvest Life (+10 per sec and +3 per sec on secondary targets)
Hellfire (+10 per sec and +3 per sec on secondary targets)
Firebolt / Felbolt (+8) Torment (+10) Lash of Pain / Bladedance / Shadow Bite / Tongue Lash / Legion Strike / Mortal Cleave (+12)
Firebolt (cast by Wild Imps / Imp Swarm) (+5)

when and only when Warlock have Demonic Fury, Metamorphosis can be activated to increase damage dealt by 24% (modified by Mastery: Master Demonologist). will be canceled when below 40 Demonic Fury and can be canceled manually. every sec (-6) and every spells can be cast consume Demonic Fury instead of mana:

when and only when Warlock have at least 100 Demonic Fury, Dark Apotheosis can be activated to reduce physical damage taken by 13.85% (modified by Mastery: Master Demonologist), magic damage taken by 15%, will be canceled when out of Demonic Fury and can be canceled manually. and change some spells in Metamorphosis:

Touch of Chaos to Demonic Slash (+60, have 2 charges)
Chaos Wave to Hand of Gul'dan (+2 each tick, have 2 charges)
Fear to Sleep (-60)
Twilight Ward to Fury Ward (-200)
Soulshatter to Provocation (-10)

both Metamorphosis and Dark Apotheosis increase armor by 250% and reduce duration of stun and snare by 35% (Nether Plating).

It should be noted, that at 500 Demonic Fury, you get a quick swirl of demonic energy around you, and you will now be sporting a pair of horns, along with having a purple glow around your feat and hands.

At 1000 Demonic Fury, along with your Metamorphosis button lighting up, you'll now have a swirl of demonic energy constantly spinning around you.

Both effects seem to be purely cosmetic, and will go away once your Demonic Fury goes below 500.

Enjoy.

Comment by Chaosrex

Would be awesome if when you hit like 300 fury, your shadow change into a deamon shadow with glowing eyes...

Also i would love to have a cloth Red coat and then this kind of "Scyth" and Demon form for my Warlock...
