Fortis: Fortis Warlock Specs

Fortis Warlocks please post your current spec here along with any commentary on why you chose what you did. There should be only one post per druid with their spec and no posts debating anything. Create new threads for extended discussions or debates of various choices.

These threads were originally utilized to keep track of what roles we were each playing, and make an excellent reference for what does and doesn't work for each individual.

Choose 53/0/18 affliction(can take points and put in another spots..up to u what u want). Best constance dps raiding spec out there. Benefits alot more on the fights which require moving since your dots are mostly instance with the exception of haunt and ua but even those are 1.3 cast right now with the haste. The addition of haunt made affliction viable in raids and owns in aoe period. Survivability is nice also with two dots healing ya. Only down side is the complex dot rotation but if u are tired of the old spammin of one button then try it. Best pet to use is felhunter but u won't lose to much dps with your imp out if needed and on some fights your pet won't live long enought anyways.
