I realize this largely depends upon raid makeup (how many casters you have and your spellpower). With the current state of elemental shamans and their dps (or lack of), I think having a warlock switch to Meta would be an overall raid dps increase. Does anyone have any input on this or maybe have tested it and ran the numbers?

Well, it's rather viable to spec meta/ruin as a support spec, if u don't have a fulltime ele shammy atm, although ur dps will drop quite alot, it should still be slightly better than an ele shammy. Only managed a 4.3K dps on PW25. While as affliction with lesser gear than now, I can do like 4.9K. With my dragonsoul trinket stacking x10 and full buffs with flask and food, I'm more than 3.2K spellpower ( as seen from char sheet ) and one lifetap from 4pc T7 brings it up to 3.3K+.

This is our wowmeter parse
WOW Meter Online - The Best World of Warcraft Combat Log Analyse System!Fully support Wrath of the Lich King!

From that parse, u can see the OPness of the doomguard as the doomguard's normal melee dmg is as good as my felguard ( excluding it's cleave dmg ) in spite of all of the demo buffs to my felguard ( including the felguard AP glyph ).

Thus for those who spec 0/31/40, or even 0/41/30, if might be better to sac ur imp and use a doomguard to dps =)
