hm, my most loved alt is an warlock
It's affliction and i think it's dmg is reasonable, my account is copied over to the ptr and i maybe can give you a little feedback how warlock thinks carry on. From the patchnotes point of view it seem's affl. got a little nerf but thats not too bad as far as i see, my problem is only that my client crashes every 3 minutes with a fatal wow error, so i cannot do a reliable 5-10 minutes rotation
So here's a little guide for you on "having fun with affliction in 10/25 raid environment" (pre 3.1 of course)
Basics:
HitCap > Spell > Haste/Crit
HitCap:
With Supression (3) and Catalysm (3) = 368 HIT
if you add a moonkin or a shadowpriest its = 289 HIT
Glyphs:
at the moment the best you can get as affl-lock are
Corruption, Curse of Agony, Imolate
Pets:
Your pet of choice should be the
Doomguard , if it's on cooldown use the fellhunter.
Don't use Doomguard for trash, it's better to have it ready on bossfights.
For example: Mine is doing on Patchwerk about 1300 dps, my fellhunter is somewhere between 300-400dps
Your Affliction-Rotation:

Your startrotation should allways be something like:
