Damn you!!!!! You've got me thinking of strategies now.

An alternative thought - could one of your warlocks ditch a few of the end talents in destruction to take affliction down to curse of exhaustion? He should still have big critting shadowbolts but that extra utility might just give you the edge.

It would be quite difficutl to manage but in small pulls you could buy some extra time by CoEx on the mobs in a pull. Probably easiest to pull off as the main warlock.

So for example you target your first target and throw your first shadowbolt volley - as it's about to hit throw on a curse of exhaustion. set off another volley then quickly Curse of Ex any of the others. It's a bit like having earthbind

So a pull of three might be seduce one, fear one, Curse of Exhaustion on the one you are burning down, if it buys you time for one more shadowbolt volley that might be enough to burn him down before he gets to you.
In destruction there is a talent point called "Aftermath" and it has a chance on spell hit to daze the target, which is essentially the same as curse of exhaustion except u've gotta rely on the proc. I can kill a trash mob before it gets to me running at full speed, if it was dazed it'd be dead about half way.

What your saying would be easy to do using some focus macros. It does give me more control over the fight, BUT i'm impatient, i dont' want to set the clicking each mob and assigning its focus.

Destruction is for straight pew pew imo.

So, with that in mind, i'm thinking on a typical trash pull.
1. Nuke 1 down
2. Howl of Terror
3. Nuke the others down 1 at a time
death coils if they get 2 close, very very handy
Voidwalkers/Succys are out to buy me time if it's a big pull, i'd like to have them not die on trash which is why i don't want them tanking, they're sort of backup.

oh, fyi, immolate + conflag is instant death for non-elites. Wolves in HFR
Forgot to mention i have shadowfury on my main, aoe stun.

ps: WTH!.. when did howl of terror become a 8 second fear.. that's weak.
