Been going over a few different specs for leveling my lock atm (armory in profile). currently using a
this
spec atm, and im really liking the burst damage output. now, since 40/31 is the most popular raid build atm, i'm thinking of trying it out, but altering it
like so
. my main question here is: will the absence of Decimation impact my leveling?
since its only active at 35% and below, i figure it wouldnt make too big a difference, as a single incinerate/shadowbolt would wipe out that smidge of health on most mobs, if i'm mistaken please tell my why.
ty :)

How on earth can you level as 40/31? You don't have 71 Talent points until you hit level 80. You level as whatever you want, then you take a raid spec the minute you hit 80.
40/31 is a dead spec. I don't know who's been telling you it's the most popular.
^This. If somebody is using 40/31 over 41/30, I would call them a scrub and a bad warlock. Conflag, to simply put it, lacks the "oomph" to be superior to the Felguard.

Thanks for the swift replies :)
i leveled from 10-72 as affliction and am pretty well-versed in the "rotations" and drain tanking, i just just wanted to try out something new. i figured the opposite of dots would be heavy burst, hence the respeccing as destro. It's not nearly as efficient and manageable as affliction, but it's still pretty fun being able to 2-3 shot things. :P
i'll try out the FG/SiLi spec you outlined Gauroth, always wanted to test out the FG anyhow, might even try out some sort of Meta spec. :P
just another question if i may:
raid-dps-wise, how close were my destruction talents to the optimal destro specs? besides shadowfury and soulburn, were there any mistakes i made? skipping a vital talent, putting points in useless talents, etc.

Destro focuses on burst, not multi mobbing ;) The idea behind burst is to choose ONE target and overload it with damage before it can hurt you. As Destro, you have no abilities which would allow you to efficiently hurt more than one mob at once.
Sili/FG is the most "efficient" leveling/grinding build; being able to DoT up a crapload of mobs and then letting the Felguard make a mess out of them is intensely satisfying. Affliction can probably do pretty well at multi-mobbing as well, its just not as simple. SiLi/FG "rotation" is just CoA->Corruption->Tab Target and repeat forever.
As for Destro specs, not even close.
