I'd recommend reading
the stickies
before posting threads. I'm sure most of your questions will be answered there. There are also multiple threads on the same basic topic, read those as well. If you have detailed questions, feel free to make a thread accordingly.

If you're focusing on pvp more than pve (which tbh pve specs don't really matter that much in lower lvls than pvp specs), then I'd recommend taking 3/3 in Demonic Embrace. Also taking Demonic Rebirth is a very good decision since the felguard will be doing much of your damage. He shouldn't be dying more than once every 2 mns anyway. As for when to use soulburn thats a situational decision. If youre getting trained by a hunter Id recommend using it with a healthstone to buy a little more time for your felguard to kill him. In bgs its also safe to always use bane of doom even on people just passing (rogues especially, its worse for them than hunters mark). As for help with hunter twinks, thats just the life of low level pvp (hunters are so op early on). especially as a clothie.
As for your macro for a dot and petattack
#showtooltip corruption
/cast corruption
/petattack
That should do the trick, but beware, if there are multiple people It would be best to not use it. You want to be dotting people up while your felguard consistently attacks your main target. Until you get hand of gul'dan the playstyle will be more like destruction with a stronger pet. Thats when you'll start seeing bigger numbers as well. It roots the target and increases the pets crit chance. Hand of gul'dan + Felstorm will help you burn people fast. All in all I'd say pvp as demo is very hard early on. Your dots don't do a ton of damage and you don't really have much time to cast anything. A lot of questions, hope i could help a little. lol

Haven't paid attention to these forums in a while, the stickies are usually kept up to date, pve ones anyway. A good pvp guide that is regularly updated is hard to find really.
A Demonology faq
.
Probably some useful info for you here.
The pvp spec I use.
Couldn't find any good pvp guides for 4.0 or better. Find a good pvp lock in your guild and ask for some pointers. Hope any of this helped.

actually we get the fg charge at 20 and axe toss at 30. strangely, they wouldn't let me put it on my bar so i could bind it... i had to make a macro for it
anyway, if my damage is competent but underwhelming, the cc is amazing. I've never played a class that felt like I could completely shut someone down for a good amount of time, in between fear, deathcoil, axe toss, hand of guldan root (get the stun too if all works out)
All pet abilities will have to macroed to bind, you cant place a pet skill on your bars. A good macro to make is some thinglike
/cast Pursuit
/cast Spell Lock
/cast Whiplash
/cast Sacrifice
Depending on the demon it casts whatever spell. I use this one then have the rest of the demon skills macroed separately.
oh another thing... hunters are still hard but getting easier. pallies are tough to take down but I can usually beat them if I save trinket for their stun. fighting warriors is lots of fun, because I can often solo them without them touching me.
overall right now, the class that I'm most threatened by is enhancement shamans. I have to work on baiting the wind shear with a fire spell because they always interrupt my fear and when they get on me I blow up in 2 seconds. ferals are pretty scary too when they get the jump.
It's sad to say (because my main is a boomkin), but whenever I see a moonkin I think "Oooh i'm gonna kill that!" and immediately put curse of tongues on it because I know that they're instantly gimped with that debuff.
also, for once, I don't crap my pants when I see a mage ;)
Hunters are pretty nasty up until lvl cap, invincible if twinked even a little. Get in thier face, and stay there as much as possible, cant hurt you in melee range.Boomkins are cake as lock generally, they have no answer for healthy doses of fear. Pallies can be tough if skilled, but generally have to out gear you to stand a chance, way out gear you.
Enhance is op untill 60, always have been. Warriors are the easiest class to beat if they aren't skilled. Can't remember but i don't think they get get battle charge till 38, untill then they suck at pvp. warriors are the most gear and skill dependent class in game. A good warrior is almost as bad to a lock as a good rogue. Mages can pwn locks, with luck. The battles are usually close.

does anyone find it useful to use drain life as demo ever? It's one of my few ways to heal myself but the healing is pretty weak regardless, although it's not negligible.
I would say no. Maybe in emergencies when you have to have some hp, any hp, now. I wouldn't try to use it with any regularity. Bandages and Soul Harvest will mean hp isn't a problem if managed right, and your felguard will keep aggro well enough you shouldn't take a whole lot of damage. Health Funnel should probably be used more than Drain Life.

I personally use meta for two things: when I get jumped by a hard hitting physical damage class and killing healers. You can get high damage by using immo aura in crowds but everyone likes to target the giant purple demon, use it wisely not suicidally. I'd say its most important for the bg to try and nuke the healers, you can keep a healer locked down from pretty good chunks of time, enough to kill it or let one or two of dps' die.
