Destruction, Affliction, PVPFollow

I am playing a level 70 UD warlock and I am having trouble figuring out which build is worth my time and gold to repec to. This build is for pvp BGs, and what I think would be a pretty desent Dest/Aff build tell me what you think and I will explain my reasoning.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/warlock/talents.html?3500022210230000000000000000000000000000000515500512200013030251

I think that this build is good to just dot them with corruption, and curse of agony, then just shadow bolt them to death and with this build you have about a %30 chance to instant cast shadow bolt every few seconds. With this build I don't buff immolation at all, I am not really into immolation even though it is a good dot, i'd rather just do 2 instant dots, then fear then just shadow bolt people to death. Tell me what you think of my build and if you don't like this link me your PVP build. :D

Well most people don't spec destro in BG's and arena since you burn mana quickly. But if you like being destro/aff build then go ahead. I would suggest changing a few talent points though. Move 2 points from supression to imp life tap since you will need the extra mana for you destro spells. Also move the 2 points in imp CoA and put them in grim reach so you can stand at max range and fire both affliction spells and destro spells. You should also not be using CoA as destro and should be putting on curse of shadow if your spamming SB's.

I don't do a lot of BGs so I don't bother respeccing from my usual 0/21/40 build when I do the daily.

It's pvp scores (compared to other build) for me are as follows using ranks 1-10.

Survivability: Score = 0. If I got jumped I was dead before I could react. 9k hp is not enough for PvP. Sure you still have Deathcoil and fear but they don't help if the rogue can kill you before his cheap shot stun wears off.

Damage: Score = 6. The build is heavily reliant on crit and due to so many people having so much resilience now critting is almost non-existant. But still - damage is relatively decent and you will land a lot more killing blows and have a bunch of low resilience rogues going wtf when you 2 shot them.

Enjoyability: Score = 7. Make sure you aren't ever running around alone and you will do some crazy stuff. A lot of people don't expect it to be the Warlock hitting them so hard and will go for the mage next to you first. I had huge amounts of fun in EotS standing at a tower behind a whole bunch of people and nuking people til I was OOM. Finished that BG at #2 in damage and #3 in KBs (overall - not just amongst allies).

I think your build might offer a little more solo pvp damage with instant/empowered corruption. I would suggest though (if this is a purely pvp build) that you take the point from Suppression. Maybe something like this 20/0/41

Im also betting squirrel's got T5 gear and up to be using that build since it is extremely gear dependent like he had said.
