Oh yes. It's going to be one of those threads.

Meant for heroics and low-end raiding, before becoming godly-geared.
1 point in Improved Healthstone because Healthstones of the same level but different degrees of spec count as different items. i.e. You can have a healthstone from a 0/2 Warlock, a 1/2, and a 2/2. Most other Warlocks will have 0 or 2 points in it.
Points are in Improved Drain Life to minimize downtime necessitated by Life Tap/Life Draining. May not be necessary, an extra two points in suppression could prove more useful.
The main objective is to get Improved Drain Soul and Destructive Reach for their respective 10% threat reductions.
I'm sure it sucks for some unseen reason. Thoughts?

I dont really see any OShi Buttons.
No Intensity means you can't attempt to castthrough if somethings in your face, and no Fel Concentration and no Nightfall means your sorta stuck if somethings wailing on you -- and if it's multiples since you're down IHoT your in a real unfortunate spot. No SBurn hurts too. I know your build is meant to lower the threat but when things are in your face it's not usually because your doing things right and you just out-threated the tank (it can), its usually because someone made a mess out of a situation and you have unCCd multis running around. Soulshatter and 10% TR arnt gonna help much there.
The HS Idea is a decent one, however it prolly works best not in a Raid Setting but in a premade BG Situation. You can't use HS rapidly, theres a cooldown on using any level of it which is 2 minutes. You could stock up on more but you can't burn em all together.
Malediction is real nice in 25 mans, but in Kara and Heroics I'd hardly ever use it - Bosses get Imped Doom and the rest gets Agony if it'll be alive long enough.
You don't have the Improved stats you'd get from going deeper into Demonology.
You wont be really doing the damage output that would require Destructive Reach's threat drop.
I'd drop the ideas of the threat drops for now... although your build isn't too bad.
Also not sure about 5/5 Shadow Embrace... for some reason I dropped it to 1 a while ago... it mighta been it doesn't work on Bosses or something... someone may wanna clarify.

You get nightfall or you get out of my house! Nightfall is such a good talent that affliction specs without it make my head hurt. A lack of ***** buttons doesn't bother me much, I run without them, too. Nightfall, however, is a 2.5 sec cast on a 1.5 sec GCD. Invaluable.
