I know its unconventional but since I respecc'd to Affliction I've always PVP'd with my imp, I dont know why but it seems to work best for me. Silence is nice, devour magic is nice, I used to PVP with nothing BUT the felhunter (Until 2.0 basically). So I've spent the last 7 months or so PVP'ing with nothing but my imp, its nice to ignore him and use him as a mana battery.

Now, in my 5v5 we have a Paladin-Druid team and a Shaman-Priest team with 2 MS warriors, 2 3m Mages a SL Warlock and an Affliction warlock (me). Our "A" team had a 90% win ratio when I was using my imp because I could just ignore him and focus on our primary target and CC. All was going well and we gained about 300 rating in our first two weeks. So I changed my spec a tiny bit to pick up Shadowburn and Bane (was 41/15/5 for extra 6% healing received and 30 dmg, am now 43/7/11 for more raid DPS/Shadowburn) and decided I'd try to use my Felhunter again.

Big mistake. I felt spread too thin, I'd even spent the last week in AV roughly 16 hours a day when I wasn't raiding working on getting used to PVP'ing with my felhunter again. It wasn't working for me, I felt spread too thin, my pet gets CC'd and if I try to Dark Pact him in long fights he's useless for silence/remove magic. I figured oh well, I'll try it anyway in the Arena. Big mistake, again he was AoE Feared, killed, banished frequently and it left me feeling spread too thin again, I couldn't focus and concentrate. The result? 5 losses in a row. I can't figure out why, but it seems to me that when I'm trying to focus on what my pet is doing (or not doing) I'm not spending enough time focusing on what I should be doing. I've become so used to ignoring my imp and using him for long drawn out battles that now those same long battles see me dead way too fast with very little accomplished.
