Alright, so I was crackin out some leet DPS on the heroic dummy yesterday as FG / Ember. At first I used CoE and my DPS was 1600 according to recount...then I tried it with CoA and it went up to 2051.
I've always heard use CoE as an ember lock, but now I guess I won't do that anymore....maybe I just got lucky with crits or something? Not sure. What is your take on this?

you heard wrong.
you should always cast CoA (this is true for (almost) all warlock builds) but that advice is when you're in a raid and the CoE debuff is covered by unholyDK > moonkin > afflock.
the results you got are due to good MC uptime and probably lucky crits. i wouldn't expect the difference on a test dummy to be that great. however, you should cast CoA unless you absolutely have to use CoE.

Do you FG/Ember locks use
Firestones
or
Spellstones
for maximizing your dps.

i entirely agree with the sentiment of the above post but disagree a little with the details.
i'd say that it's fact that haste > crit for destro.
sadly firestones aren't "vastly" superior. like you, i'm not necessarily suggesting that destro locks start using a spellstone, but the difference is actually quite small.
and locks can and do get 50% crit raid buffed and they don't need that much crit rating to do it. just talents and raid buffs. getting 35% solo is easy enough then throw in a moonkin and scorch stack and voila.
and a couple of posts above: unholyDKs are by far the best class for putting CoE (Ebon plague) on targets. with 2 GCDs they can put the debuff on every hostile target in range. this is very powerful so, given the choice, let them do it ^^
