70 warlock Noob in need of assistanceFollow

Ok I have been 70 almost since BC came out and recently got back from a 6 month break from the game i was told that the best spec for dps in raids/pvp was full affliction which i have been since before the time i took the break but as i have been getting more serious about raiding i have wondered if i could get more dps/dmg out of my lock buy switching specs people in my old guild said that full destro was better than affliction so i switch to full destro even though i am still kind of iffy about it cuz i liked the good dmg i did with affl and dont want to lose that cuz i would be mostly top of dmg meter every run i go on weather its a raid or heroic but as ive been reading on the forums i have seen several specs that people have posted that sound plausable and im kinda weary about changing specs in fear of losing dmg cuz i like my dmg a lot it is wat makes me feel special lol any imput would be great i just want to get the most out of my lock here is my armory link:

Your stats really aren't good enough to go full destro for raiding. Full affliction is your best bet for PvE right now and it is decent for arenas, not as good as Sl/Sl but ok.

Also many of the talents you have in Destro are a waste. Conflagarate, after math, and nether protection really are a waste for PvE and not that great for arena. Remember in arenas its about staying alive not burst dmg. Hope that helps.

0/21/40 IS Destruction raiding, but Destruction in all forms is sub-optimal for PvP.

I hate to say it, but your current build is really awful. Nether Protection is a PvP only talent and can sometimes majorly ***** up PvE encounters (Illhoof and Leotheras?), and Cataclysm and Aftermath are probably two of the three most useless Warlock talents in the game (just after Master Summoner). Conflagrate is rarely used, since letting Immolate finish off is easier and less mana-intensive.

At 1000 Spell Damage, 18-20% untalented Spell Crit and 202 Spell Hit, you'll start to see benefits switching from Unstable Affliction to 0/21/40.

ty all for the imput and i did switch back to affl ccuz that spec really did suck
