I've heard 1-50 go afflic and 50-70 go demo for the felguard. You could go demo 1-30, then respec for drain tanking till 50 then go felguard.

Both Demo and Affliction are great levelling specs. It seems more people prefer Affliction, especially before Outlands, but both work well if played right. Heck, even Destro works, you just drink alot.

If you plan on levelling Demo, you will need to respec at Felguard time. Having the Imp VW is a huge help to a levelling Demo Lock. You may want to grap Imp Corr and Imp Drain Soul First though. Imp Drain Soul will help your VW keep aggro. You shouldn't really need the Imp Health Funnel until you get your Felguard, so you could drop those an a point from Imp HS to pick up your Imp VW while levelling.

Once you get to a Felguard level, your Demo Tree looks pretty good, but is missing at least 1/3 in Mana Feed. If you don't take this, your Felguard will always be OOM. You really should have Imp SB and Bane if you plan on running Instances and things. They are really great damage boosters. Since you have felguard or VW you shouldn't be getting hit that often, so Fel Concentration is a waste. It's more of a Drain Tankers talent.

If it was me, I'd level like this:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/warlock/talents.html?0502000000000000000000050330133250100501350000000000000000000000

Then at that point re-spec to Felguard spec.

Ok, oh and I forgot to mention in original post that I'm currently 66 and just in need of a talent spec upgrade.

So instead of the fel concentration should I put those 5 points into improved shadow bolt? But then where would I get the other 6 points for 5 into bane and 1 into mana feed?

Should I just take a point or two out of master demonologist and demonic tactics?

Also one other question, I've got a lot of gear that has +spell crit strike, but it seems like that is sort of a wasted stat since most of my damage comes from my dots, and I didn't think dots could crit, right?

Now granted I'll want some +spell critical strike on my gear, but should I be looking more towards +spell hit and +spell damage over the +spell critical strike?
