Holy @#%^, why did they delete my post? LOL, you know if what I am saying is worth deleting, then I REALLY question the judgement of the moderators that leave posts that say things like "HUNTER WEAPON LAWL".

Ok so for raiding, you should disregard everything sederix told you, its pretty useless. First off, ALL raiding builds should have imp shadowbolt and bane, (with the exception of firelocks but some still put points into both). Shadowbolt will be 50%+ of your dps.
First of all, if my post still existed, WHERE did I ever say not to have any points in Destruction, and least of all not to have any in Improved Shadowbolt? Oh, right I didnt.
Second, "everything" I said was useless? Let's put that to the test. These were the reasons I said Demonology is appropriate for raiding, so why dont you tell me why you think those points are useless:
~20% Reduced Threat.
~Up to 30% damage mitigation.
~More endurance than the other trees; includes 15% reduced damage to minions.
~Personal buffs, for when the minion is about to die.
~A sh*t load of spell resistance that is not offered by the other trees.
~50% AOE resistance.
Let me get this straight. You think that all those things are not useful for raids, and the original poster should just assume they are not because you said so....
Last I checked, warlocks are agro magnets, and you are a ****** if you disagree because you either (a) have sh*tty gear, (b) group with people better than you, or (c) have never ran a raid with other people with an updated threat meter. So, reduced threat is a must have. I've been A and B myself, so you are a liar if you do not think those cant apply to you.
Up to 30% damage mitigation. I dont even think this needs explaining, but since you could be retarded, I will try. NOT DIEING IZ GUD.
Going on the whole staying alive thing, why in Azeroth would you consider increased health for both you and your minions "useless"?
The personal buffs are situational. I made the suggestion, because increased mana or health regeneration can be useful during a long fight where the healer really should not need to babysit you. Assuming you could be a drooler yourself, you must need a lot of babysitting.
Who the @#%^ does NOT want to live through an AOE by the Curaror (as one example)? The last two points are totally relevant for raiding. Almost ALL of the bosses in Karazhan and many heroic instances have spells and AOE effects... but you think lettting the healer pick up slack for your laziness is cool.

Any warlock raiding build should have at least 10 points in Destruction for Improved Shadow Bolt and Bane. Sedrix somehow thinks that Drain Life can do as much damage as shadow bolts. It can't.
NO I did not ever say anything of the sort-- I never mentioned ANY Destruction spells or Affliction spells at all. And, you should edit your message, because my original comments are not there for me to explain myself.
And, that's why Demonology is appropriate for raiding.
*Bows out*
