SB > haunt > Corr > UA > CoA > SB filler and refresh
no shadowburn (don't even spend the talent point).
clip haunt.
don't clip DoTs.
the armoury shows you as not having shadowburn but it also shows you as having 3/1 in pandemic O.o
so, can't really give you advice on your build. it says you don't have eradication. if you don't, you should.

yup, sorry to say but saia's post doesn't reflect 'best practice'. some good results on a dungeon run don't make for good advice on a forum.
DO start with SB + haunt.
only hold back if you know the tank to have less gear than you (learn quickly on this point though) - all tank have decent up front threat at this point in wrath.

SB > UA > Haunt > CoA > Corr
much more efficient rotation imo.
Post by
asakawa
in what way efficient?
SB > haunt >
(gets a 2 stack of shadow embrace up early and starts the haunt debuff)
> corr > UA > CoA
(applies your DoTs in order of damage they deal and also in a way that means they won't require refreshing at the same time meaning maximum DoT uptime).
it's not completely arbitrary

SB > Haunt should always be the starter (especially on bosses).
Then follow with UA>CoA>Corr is what I do. By the time I go through that once its time to throw up another Haunt and start SBing.

Question concerning the rotation:
SB > Haunt > Corr > UA > Coa
Completely makes sense, however why not:
SB > Haunt > UA > Corr > CoA
With the first, is there a chance that Corr will be applied prior to Haunt striking the target? That's pretty much why I always cast UA after Haunt, to account for the travel time. Is this valid reasoning?
Post by

it doesn't matter.
since haunt is a debuff on the target and not a buff on the caster, it's effect is checked as damage is done. this means that haunt doesn't need to be on the target when corruption hits but it DOES need to be on for the first (and every) tick.
with that in mind, the only important thing is making sure the DoTs don't clash and require refreshing together. the order of those DoTs is far less important than applying haunt and SB first so it's cool to do whatever you're in the habit of - just look out for those clashes and alter things accordingly.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. I plan to adjust my rotation accordingly - thanks for the info!

at first i was using SB » haunt » corr » Ua » coa and i got a good dps rate but i tryed the other rotation SB » Haunt » UA » Corr » coa and i get even more dmg on curses.. i hit crits of 3.5 sometimes..
anyways thanks for your help guys.. now i dont get spammed saying warlock suck at dps ( everyone thinks that warlocks are mages) :X
btw a tip for the warlocks.. carfull with the Sb spam cause if the curses crit you may get overagro ^^
cheers

instead of using SB could you use incinerate? or will that significantly drop your DPS?Incinerate? As Affliction? You make me want to cry.
Also, numbers in his name....
