and Demonic Tactics is so-so (I'd never spec it outside of raiding).

+5% to both you and you pets crit chances is a bit more than so-so. The extra crits for the pet's melee and cleaves makes it hold aggro much better when farming and the extra crits for you makes your ISB procs happen a lot more. I would recommend at 70 to go with:

or to be a smarty pants from your talent sticky:

Demonic Tactics
> PvP: C
> PvE: B+
> Farm: B+
> Comments: As is mentioned often, this talent is in a bad place. So far up the tree for a bonus like this is a bad idea. Nonetheless if you're up there it's a nice talent for PvE, increasing DPS directly. For PvP it's lackluster; the warlock class isn't a burst class and certainly isn't dependent on or built around crit, that coupled with the effects of res really make this talent a waste for PvP, especially at 5 points.

Netherweave is a pretty solid "fill in the gaps" crafted set. Certainly nothing wrong with using those pieces until you acquire better.

Build looks good, damage is solid. You should be fine for your trip to 70. If I were to point to anything, it would be your rings - there are some good questable ones in Hellfire Peninsula.

Carinda's Wedding Band
Ring of the Slain Anchorite

And when you reach Zangarmarsh you can get this for one of your trinket slots.

So are you saying that it's better than what else is available? Really? Not unless you're raiding.

The difference between the spec you posted:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=IV0rZbgczIizzeszxx0z
and the spec I posted:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=IV0bZ0gczIizzestxx

Imp. HS - extra 400 HP. Personally I never use a HS when farming. If you do use one during farming then maybe you will value this more than I do.
Soul Siphon - an extra 8% damage for 1 spell. Nice but I still see that 5% for all my spells and my pets and think it's not as nice.
ShadowBurn - an instant DD spell with a base damage of about 100 that costs a soul shard. Nice but I don't see this as essential to farming

5% crit for you and 5% crit for pet - pet generates more aggro and mobs die faster.

Lets talk about what else is available:

Imp. Drain Soul - 10% threat reduction form afflliction spells. Nice and definitely worth considering picking up over 2% crit for farming
mana Feed - an extra point in this would decrease down time, attractive option for farming
Supression, Imp. CoW - are bad for farming
Master Conjuror, Cataclysm, AfterMath - are plain bad
Imp imp, Imp Voidwalker, Imp Succy, Enslave Demon, Imp Lash of Pain, Imp. Firebolt - are weak for a FG build
Devastation is nice but weaker then Demonic tactics

Some of this is going to be a matter of preference, playstyle, and gear

It is even funnier to me, that the PvE FG build in your sticky about talents is:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=IV0bZbxczIizzgstxx0z
which is the same as the build I linked except you traded 1 pt of Demonic Resilience for Shadowburn

and the PvP FG build from your sticky is the one you listed above:
