Yeah, this is my main concern too. Don't get me wrong - the dps losses to affliction really don't make me happy at all. But it is definitely the dumbing down of the rotation that has me pissed off. I mean, it seems pretty stupid to increase so dramatically the reliance on shadowbolt spam when they've said over and over again that they want to avoid it. The rotation was great the way it was - you didn't need to use immolate and siphon life to do great damage, but it was a really nice challenge to work them into your rotation. Now that challenge is gone, and our rotation has become largely spam.

And while the nerf (and it is a big nerf) to pandemic is troubling, I don't think we'll notice it all that much. The nerf to eradication though will be extremely noticable during play and basically represents the last fun thing we had in the tree.

Affliction is now the tree of 1 button spam. Even if, defying all expectations, affliction is able to do competitive dps to the new demonology, it will still be boring as hell to actually play.
