Aoe Mage & Lock builds

Thanks a lot for the tips. Much appreciated!

quick last one. I understand then you do not take sacrifice for an extra 15% fire damage during AOEs (thanks to imp sacrifice). Is it because the 20% threat reduction from MD helps the war keep the aggro during the hellfire / arcane expl phases ?

Most people go DS for raiding and squeezing that min/max succi sac shadow damage and the fact that pets die in raids always. I wouldnt bother with the fire damage for aoeing, it already does so much damage that your real issue is threat, casting knockbacks and interruptions, and staying alive. Imps phase shift also ensures it never dies. Also MD succi is 10% all damage so there's that if you want more.
