thing is... your spec is way off what anyone would advise for levelling, dps doesn't matter and your gear will just be the best thing that you get from whatever quest you just did.
the question is, are you enjoying the experience of levelling your lock?
do you find that you get hit too much meaning you need to eat?
do you find you need to drink for mana often or have to life tap > bandage for mana after every fight?
essentially, if you're having fun then don't worry about any of this stuff just enjoy your meander towards 80 and when you get there hit the stickies in a big way if you want to take part in any end game activities. it's only at that point that your decisions actually start to effect others so before then it's all good.
that said general advice for level 71s goes:
-spec
21/41/0
-cast instant DoTs (corruption, Curse of agony) on every mob you can.
-turn off the FG's taunt and just let him cleave at whatever targets he can get his axe to.
-for elite quests use a VW. cast DoTs but watch agro. channel health funnel almost constantly.
-prioritise spellpower over every other stat.
-ignore this if any of it sounds like it's not what you find fun.

exactly. it's difficult to give advice to a thread like this because you've made a thread about it so that suggests that you're unhappy with your current setup but the content of your post suggests that you're generally very happy with how it's going.
levelling is all about having fun so unless you have a problem with your current approach there really is no right or wrong answer.
if you came and said, i'm generally happy but i want top be able to solo elite/group quests then we can give an answer.
if you said, i like destro levelling but there's a bit too much downtime then we can help there.
or i like destro levelling but can't deal with unexpected adds...
you're not using a spec/approach that the majority of warlocks have found fun/efficient but that really does not matter if you find it fun and efficient enough.

you were looking for someone to post an end gaem spec and some bad advice? hells, you should've said!
levelling != end-game
a levelling spec likely wouldn't be using an imp since it's damage is dreadful and empowered imp isn't much use whe levelling. you'd want to use a VW for it's bubble and as such is worth improving a little bit via the demo tree, even going as far as soul link.
defensive talents like molten skin are good along with utility like SL and iSL.
don't build for end-game until you get there. always spec for levelling and respec at 80.
glyphs of conflag and life tap are good stuff.
/sigh

i leveled up as destro with creating this tree wich is suitable for raids too.i dont understand why i should spent gold respecing at 80 since level up is so easy nowadays q are easy too so there is no problem of survivalbillity to choose affliction or demo to level up.same i believe for hunters too,no need to level up as bm till 80 and respec to mm at 80 or surv since surv has more burst dmg(i mean for doing q).void's shield is good for pvp i dont see any reason to use it often while doing q or use felguard and w8 it to kill mobs.you can use void as desrto when you do q and imp if you are invited in an instance.i used to have void while doing q for shield incase i pulled a lot of mobs or to avoid a horde attack.specific specs required on TBC to level up easier my opinion it's not essential on wotlk.why not killing a mob on 3 spells but w8ing a demon to kill it and cast some weak(compared to destro) spells?
Same, as i was levelling i just filled talents in till i hit 70 and had a decent spec..
AND i saved 10 gold on a respecc :) lucky me
