That's what I mainly do, but as destro.
I assume u said it because of spec, but read the first line of my post and read 3.3 patch notes. I am not stating it is best, but what I see after the patch release, the wider use of Felhunter
I play affliction and I read the patch notes and seriously Felhunter + Dark Pact isn't a good choice simple because felhunter's abilities are in the same GCD with Dark Pact and more pet dependence isn't something good ;P.
Second, not taking Everlasting Affliction isn't smart, -5% corruption/UA dmg and not reseting Corruption (which tricks mage armor to full duration)
So, now we going to use our pet to actually deal damage, not just as utility.
Felhunter's dmg is still going to be low and not reliable.
and wtf why are you talkin about when you talk about this: Due to Felhunter changes, int becomes less valuable, so we can stack more stamina
No Serious PvPer stack intellect (just what comes from set) and also no serious warlock that pvps stacks stamina anymore (just what comes from set and depending how he gem for sp penetration a few sp/stm if none).
(but again, if pet dies twice, u r screwed more than it used to be before)
Hello? That's already an issue in the Live server.
Even in Live almost all the warlocks use Felhunter (affliction and destruction) where just a small number of warlocks use Succy

Actually Afflock and Feral work quite good.
The Afflock slowly but surely destroye the hp of opponent, and as feral, best prey you can have is a weakened one.
Same goes for Afflock + Rogue.

As wildhorn says, if aff/rogue works then aff/kitty will work, because it's just a rogue in a cat suit :)
Your spec though, not so good.

affliction already benefits more from haste than crit in pvp.
UUuhhhmmmm.... corruption CAN crit, UA CAN crit, shadow bolts CAN crit and haunt CAN crit, death coil CAN crit, healtstone CAN crit... 2 out of 3 of your fears are istant, shadowflame CAN crit and it's istant, and half of your dots/debuffs are istant (the nonistant spells are on 1.5 sec cast). The only thing that can't crit it's curse of agony... Ops, i forgot it's on 1 sec gcd :)
Especially if you doublespec destro, i think dualgering for haste and crit is not so good... Ok haste it's less cast time and less gcd... but out of that, with 0 haste i can put out all my dots in like 4 seconds :P I really don't see the point going haste for affly. Think that's the "old school tbc" warlock, when dots don't crits. But, hey, we are on Wotlk waiting for patch 3.3 :P Also as affly spec for that reason i use Firestone ._.
And ya, i'm agree that Dark pact > Life tap. More mana and no healt drain. I can't see people saying "Skip it it's useless for PvP, if you got an healer on your team you can use Lifetap" ._.
Yeah, just give more pain to my healer, and let's open for a doubleburst attack that can kill me 8) No ty, i prefer infinte fellpup mana.
Death Coil can't crit and its not a fear and has 2 mins cooldown.
if you understand at least a little bit about affliction you'll understand why haste scales better than crit as affliction (which you clearly doesn't).
Affliction is shadow tree only, that means if you get kicked you're %^&*ed.
Haste scales better simply because makes easier to spread dots and keep them up while 2 melees are zerging you and trying to interrupt all your casts or get Unrelenting Assault on you.
Mixing gear isn't a good idea (haste/crit).
