First Time 80 WarlockFollow

First major problem I see with your gear is that you have mp5 on a few pieces. I did too when I hit 80 simply because the other stats were better than what I currently had. You still should know though, mp5 is a worthless stat to us as we automatically regen no mana during combat.

As for your spec, it shows you as destro, not Affliction. For Destro I would at least drop 1-2 points from Backdraft, as I've heard that the 3rd point is actually a DPS loss somehow. Not to sure on the specifics. I'd also drop the point from Shadowfury and put points into Demonic Power to buff the Imp some more. I'd also try to pick up Demonic Aegis.

I think this is a better Destro build:

I will say that I do not have any experience with the Destro builds in WotLK though.

I personally am a big fan of the Felguard/Emberstorm build. This is what I currently run with:

If I am not top DPS in anything I run it's either not a pet friendly fight(very few) or it's a close call between 1, 2 and 3. With the other two most often my guilds mage and hunter.

For weak trash:
Rain of Fire

For tougher trash:
CoA on a few to give the tanks time for aggro and get Molten Core to Proc
Rain of Fire

For trash that doesn't stack or pulls of 1-2.
Kinda have to gauge how long it will live and either just Incin or Immo/Incin, maybe if your groups other DPS is really lacking, CoA, Immo, Incin spam

For Bosses:
CoA, Corr, Immo, Spam Incin refreshing DoTs as needed. Use Demonic Empowerment whenever it's up.


Jenova also has had some really good luck with Affliction, and can probably give more info on that than me. There is also a good post by Fallenman in the Warlock Forums at the O-Boards.
