Survivability is much better (kinda needed since I'm running around in the crafted blue pvp set).
Other goodies:
5 x instant AoE fear .
4 x silience / interrupts / purges from Felhunters (I have the 5th pet as Imp for health bonus)
Self-res every 15 minutes
Stronger SoC's for AoE carnage
Shadow Embrace partially stacks (the HoT reduction does, the damage buff doesn't).
Currently I'm toying with the idea of moving 5 points out of Demo into Bane for .5 secs of SB casts for a faster nuke...I find during BG's that I'm casting SB quite a bit when haunt is on cooldown and the target is already dotted up (very helpful against resto druids and disc priests).
Cheers,
