Sorry for hijacking the thread, GreenRabite.
Any suggestions on a Battleground build? Is SL/SL viable there or should I skip Soul Link and go for more Affliction/Destruction instead? I do like the survivability of the Soul Link talent, but being able to throw Shadowburns and Unstable Afflictions around is more effective while I'm in the back.
I mainly do Alterac Valley, Arathi Basin and Eye of the Storm. Not so much Arathi Basin, though.
I just BG in whatever spec I'm currently playing. I prefer doing BG's in arena spec, just for the extra practice. I hate being on 2 servers, I had to give up raiding on 1 of my toons, and sadly I chose the warlock. So now I'm always SL/SL, it works quite well for me. But any spec can work really in ultra large scale PVP, but I still prefer SL/SL. Especially in WSG, which is smaller scale PVP. With a healer + skill you can win 2v4 in the enemy flag room and come out with decent HP and the flag. I suppose you could do that with UA as well, but not as easily.
I've even done BG's in 0/21/40 raid spec.
If you just want to top damage meters, UA is probably best but you can do quite well as SL/SL as well (often 1st by a mile). If you want to defend objectives I feel SL/SL is better because you're more likely to win outnumbered encounters, such as 1v2 or 2v3, 2v4 @ an enemy tower (EoTS), bunker/tower (AV) or flag node (AB).
