Drain tanking build questionFollow

I'm a 42 undead warlock and since level 10., I've been using the VW to tank and dotting the mob up and doing the life tap > drain life thing.

This is my build http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=Iq0rVRskqd

Now as I fight, I'm finding that my dots are wearing off before the mob dies, somtimes the mob still has 1/5 health. So I clearly need more damage. I' thinking about drain tanking with the succubus now for more damage. I usually fight mobs my level or 1-2 below. Would drain tanking be possible this way? Would it even increase my damage?

I'm also wondering about talents. I deffinatley plan to do 5/5 in Demonic Embrace but people have told me to go full affliction for leveling. I'm thinking I'll stop with Aff for now, get Demonic Embrace (any other good talents in Demo for drain tanking?) then get the rest of Contagion and move onto howl of terror and UA.

As far as I understand Drain Tanking goes as I keep the mob on my succubus long enough to dot and life tap then I should be drain lifing by the time it hits me. I plan on going like CoA, Corr, Siphon Life, Immolate, Life tap to full mana, drain life. When I get UA, I'll replace that with Immolate, unless UA uses huge amounts of mana or has a cool down or somthing..

I would like advice on my tacts, talents or anything I mentioned in this post, I'm pretty unsure of how things will go out.


(P.S. I'm using Jame's leveling guide if that matters to anyone.)

You don't need points in Emp Corr. until you have decent spell damage. I doubt you'll have enough at level 42 *shrugs* please post your armory :)
