Warlock change is nice for raid compositions, was really wishing though mages would get something small before WoTLK comes out, right now, even though this change makes it easier to accommodate mages on runs, it still doesn't help much with the fact that they are falling behind with scaling issues.

I suppose the fix is coming with wrath, but a class having to be "not balanced" for months due to content processing is annoying, to say the least. It was annoying in vanilla too when the shoe was on the other foot on our locks were experiencing this.

Good change though, it really does make things easier having one curse.

Oh, and for those that bring 2-3 mages, this would seem to make malediction much much more powerful, as now one affliction lock can increase 7-8 classes damage by 3%, rather then the normal 5 (Given a standard raid composition of 3 locks, 2 SP's, 2 mages.).

I don't think the RDPS will be enough to overtake the loss of DPS that the lock experiences, but throw in -5% boss damage and now its pretty tempting to have a lock go afflict/destro.
