i'd like to comment on the everlasting affliction change.

first of all, i understand that the change was brought upon to eliminate the need to refresh corruption by shadow bolting, when the boss is under 25%. in the already clustered affliction rotation, tossing a shadow bolt and then soul draining yielded just 1-2 ticks before you had to start re-applying dots/haunt, less if you had to lifetap.

i'll admit that it was a brilliant idea to make corruption refreshed by haunt instead. for the sake of drain sou.
HOWEVER!! it doesnt work. all viable rotations are new fubared because i'm having corruption expiring on me. cast time + travel time leaves you little to no room of error in re-applying haunt, and that absolutely destroys rotations, and requires massive amount of focus.

the ONLY way to keep corruption up thru haunt, is to clip dots. yes, if i re-apply haunt right after it expires, it barely makes it there, and it does refresh corruption. in order to do that, i'm finding myself re-applying dots 1-3 ticks before they expire, just for the sake of a rotation.

at only lvl71, i was getting a very impressive 1900dps with my rotation. shadow bolt was only 30% of my dmg due to not being able to get ruin at 70. after the change, i got hit with a 250dps reduction, because of either corruption expiring on me, having to refresh dots a lot sooner, and for the most part becoming paranoid when haunt was expiring. the result of that was a drop of shadow bolt dmg to 23% of my dmg, and the overall 250dps drop.

anyone else experiencing this?
