The right thing to do with a troll is ignore them and report them. By trolling them back, you get thrown into the bucket with them.

Last night we rolled up a quick ZA group which had 2 Locks.... my alt and another full time guildie. The full time guildie prior to this patch was your typical SB spam lock and was competitive on DPS. Last night both of us were affliction and I absolutely blew the doors off him. I was amazed to learn that he really didn't understand Haunt or any other mechanics that are the bread and butter of affliction.

What this little tale illustrates is that people haven't been use to challenging rotations. We have had a whole pile of locks that have only known SB spam. There is nothing overly complex about any of the trees... I think people are just having to adjust and the natural reaction is to resist change. In the end, the difference between an "ok" and "great" player will be a smaller gap... but it will still be noticable.

Lets face it.... Blizz couldn't give Warlocks more damage. Complaining that everyone caught up seems like a playground argument.

So, excuse me, but it might be my lack of understanding proper english, but are you telling us that you think warlock dps is fine and we need to read haunt and install a dotimer to actually do dps? You know, if the locks in your guild are horrible and only rerolled warlock after it was a 1 button class, that doesn't mean that every lock can't play their class.
I suppose you don't really know that early in TBC the one warlock spec everyone was using was actually full affliction and I would guess most people who post here actually played that for a good few months until they were done with BT.
