Nice work Fightcow. Sometimes odd compositions are fun. Thought I'd weigh in as I just spent a few hours tweaking and optimizing my destro warlock macros last night. This should give you a great place to start for yours:

I use four step macros in ISBoxer. Very simple except for one thing: on macro #4 I use "Do not advance to the next Step for 0.2 seconds and only trigger once". I have found that this seems to keep the cast time spells (like incinerate) from queueing up twice, limiting the ability of the other three macros to trigger consistently.

1:

Code:

---

/assist focus
/stopmacro [nocombat]
/stopmacro [channeling]
/cast Dark Soul: Instability
/cast Shadowburn
/petattack

---

2:

Code:

---

/assist focus
/stopmacro [nocombat]
/stopmacro [channeling]
/cast Chaos Bolt

---

3:

Code:

---

/assist focus
/stopmacro [nocombat]
/stopmacro [channeling]
/castsequence Conflagrate,Incinerate,Incinerate
/cast Dark Soul: Instability

---

4:

Code:

---

/assist focus
/stopmacro [channeling]
/castsequence reset=5 Immolate, Incinerate, Incinerate, Incinerate, Incinerate
/petattack

---

Talents are: 2 2 1 2 1 1 3
Pet is the Terrorguard
Crit>Mastery>other stuff

BTW, I tried a number of different macros with delays for a period of building Burning Embers then a period of casting Dark Soul and Chaos Bolts, as I would do if playing one solo. I got the timing to work pretty well, but it was very inconsistent DPS and averaged a bit lower than the 4 macro scheme above. Therefore, I fell back to just using these more straightforward macros that simply use Dark Soul and Chaos Bolts when available.

thanks for that mercurio.
I never do trinity teams anymore, its gotta be something odd for me :)

I did try destro a bit but its just not viable as theres no way to keep the pets up (no pet heals in destro) and only 1 rez per minute.
Its a shame as pre 6.0 i could run all 3 specs with almost equal success but now they have removed so many abilities only affliction remains workable for a 5 lock team.
Im gutted at the ability pruning and re-arranging in WoD. In fact i think the only thing good about WoD is the instances, which is lucky as thats all i do anyway :)

Judging by the forums ive been reading - The players thought cata was bad...then MoP was worse..then came WoD and it was even more worserer !
