In addition to the whining, I would like to see you put more effort into spelling appropriately and generally making your posts as readable as possible.

Needing a timer to play the spec is not broken, timers are handy for many classes (rogue rupture, hunter serpent sting etc).
What comes down to me as broken is basicly the total lack of crit scaling and the manageability of pets combined with the fact you are always going to be less able to be "aware" of your fight cause the complicated juggling of spells and therefor I have yet to see any affli warlock raid leading and doing great dps at the same time.
Another broken thing is that we need at least 15 points in destro to make us raid viable and the best glyph we get is for a destro spell.

I am not trying to recap all previous mentions of what is or would be wrong and wether or not blizzard fails or whatever, but at the moment the complicated rotation of affli is the least that worries good affli warlocks, in fact, most of us actually enjoy it a lot.

For a while I went with ruin over UA in TBC and dropped immolate, that alone made fights that much more boring.
