I'm gonna be going with the 0/40/31 build you have posted, but my big question is which glyphs? Obviously Imp and Conflagrate. But would the third be Immolate, Incinerate, or Lifetap?

forgive me if someone already asked, but for your 0/40/31 build would it be worth it to take points out of destructive reach, demonic power, and aftermath and put them into improved shadow bolt. It seems like imp SB will be an easy 5% crit increase to keep up since its a 100% chance to apply to the target. All you need to do is work SB into your rotation. Plus it can proc molten core

Is there a competitive deep destruction build that includes Imp Soul Leech? I've been wanting to try out Destruction for a long time, with interest in seeing how self-sustaining it is (without the need to lifetap, and Soul Leech + Fel Synergy keeping your pet alive in low-AE situations). However, there are so many sweet talents in the middle of Demo that it seems impossible for deep destruction to be competitive. Demonic Aegis, Master Conjurer, Demonic Knowledge, Master Demonologist, and especially Decimation make it really hard to consider against a Demo/Destruction hybrid.
I almost feel that Decimation should be changed to Shadowbolt only, and that Destruction should get a clone for Incinerate, or perhaps something more like Hotstreak, with instant Soulfires with Incinerate and Chaos Bolt crits sub 35%.

It is possible to work imp soul leech into a deep desto build - its not necessarily the "best" option, but its very possible.
Glyphs for 40/31 are a little trickier. Glyph of conflag is necessary. Glyph of imp has been buffed since I ran my testing on it, but due to glyph of immo double dipping (it also buffs conflag) it should still be better than glyph of imp. Your last glyph is a bit of a toss up between imp, incinerate, and lifetap. I'll be using lifetap personally - If used properly it is the best dps boost - but incinerate and imp are both ok too.
Hybrid locks are not a good choice to put up the 5% crit debuff. mages, aff locks, and demo locks can all put it up much easier than we can. If you have no one else in the raid to put te debuff up, then it would be sensible for a hybrid lock to spec and put it up, but it should be last choice.
You have it correct Maxlock. Use the imp for the MD buff, and despite being unable to max most crit talents, you get a LOT. I wouldn't recommend soul linking your imp. fel synergy will keep him up as a rule, but his HP pool is pretty small. If you divert 20% of your incoming damage to him, he'll be taking spikes up to 2k from you on top of the splash damage he recieves. Because hes not in melee range (and therefore won't get much splash healing from brain heal etc), he won't get a whole lot of healing. Long story short, I don't recommend soul linking him unless you have a specific reason to.

Checked your new 0 / 41 / 30 spec, and came up with some changes, that atleast i think would be more suited for raiding dps.
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#IZ0GchkAkihcrzZE0bVrczV
Mainly left the Demo tree as you did. Just changed some in the Destruction tree since i think 5% crit for 30 sec SB debuff will become more handy than aftermath which you had.
We just have to add a shadowbolt into our already easy rotation now which should be rather easy.
Think this nice dps spec will be even better after the patch, just can't wait to actually try it out. Even if we lose like 4% crit from Demonic Tacs we still get 1% extra from SB debuff which should weight up that. Not to mention the SF spamming from 25% :)

Well I have to say I was pleasantly surprised that after making my spec I came across one very similar..
Any comments on my spec I'd be glad to hear it -

there are a couple of VERY important things here.
master conjurer is FAR too good to pass up. drop iHF for it.
secondly, if you're 51 points in demo then meta IS required. it's really incredibly good for 1 talent point. easily worth dropping points from destructive reach or iDT for.
further to that decimation provides a lot of damage. you could argue that you don't like it and don't want to put it in your build and that's fine but it needs pointing out.

I try the 0/40/31 on the PTR, dose anyone know a good rotations they would use?
CoE, Corruption (if your glyphed for it), Immolate, and spam incinerate imo.
EDIT: asakawa , your sig is seducing me ;)

erk!
no to CoE (let the moonkins and unholyDKs do that). yes to corruption but no to the glyph. yes to incinerates. add conflags on every cooldown.
