imo there's quite a difference.

SoC: 2 second cast time

Living bomb: instant.

Seed of corruption:
Imbeds a demon seed in the enemy target, causing 1044 Shadow damage over 18 sec. When the target takes 1044 total damage or dies, the seed will inflict 1110 to 1290 Shadow damage to all enemies within 15 yards of the target. Only one Corruption spell per Warlock can be active on any one target.

1.) As expected, the DoT-damage scales with your +spelldamage gear, as does the AE-damage.
2.) Unexpectedly (at least for me), the triggerdamage of 1044 does not scale - this means that SoC will trigger itself before 18 seconds pass, even if nothing else happens (9 seconds do it for me).
3.) If the AE is triggered by the enemy taking 1044 damage, it is not counted towards other Seed-triggers on adjacent targets.
4.) If the AE is triggered by the enemy dying, then it IS counted towards other triggers nearby.

Living Bomb:
The target becomes a Living Bomb, taking 1380 Fire damage over 12 sec. After 12 sec or when the spell is dispelled, the target explodes dealing 690 Fire damage to all enemies within 10 yards.

So if i could pick i'd defenitily go for Seed of Corruption. Being able to make it trigger faster is what makes it so much better. Because i don't want to wait 12 seconds before they blow up. Especially if you have 3 or 4 warlocks putting SoC on a raid. The ticks from the dot count for the 1044 dmg done, so they're explode after 3 seconds or so?
