I played abit with leulier, my gear and 40/x/x variants. I know it's a bad example/comparison but look at this :

Solo boss environment, saccing succubus in the 40/21/0 variant, both using SB as filler :

40/0/0 = 816 dps
40/21/0 = 932 dps. 21 Demo adds 116 dps. Main selling points : Fel Intellect, Demonic Aegis, Demonic Sacrifice
40/0/21 = 1071 dps. 21 Destro adds 255 dps. Main selling points : Imp SB, Bane, Devastation, Ruin

Even with Unstable Affliction 'forced' into a 41+x/x/x variant, 21 destro still pulls ahead.

Adding 1 point in Demonic Sacrifice was worth 103 dps.
But adding 5 points into Bane only was worth 85 dps. Getting Ruin is another 46 dps.

103 DS vs 131 Bane + Ruin...
