Hi, i only recently Dinged 85 on my warlock and i have been destro and demo for all my Wow life because in Wotlk i have always liked having big crits as destro and using my felguard and meta as demo.

But i have never tried affliction and i dont have the slightest idea on how to play as an affliction warlock at all.
Can i ask if my rotation is correct? Because when i do this rotation i can only get about 7k on dummies. im also not geared but as destro i can do about 11k.

Soulburn-soulfire -> Haunt -> Corruption -> Unstable Affliction -> BOA -> shadowbolt and reapplying dots when they are finished. then at the last part. i just soul drain the boss.

Please advise on how can i improve on my rotation.

We got to the Conclave of Winds for the first time in our guild last night (yes yes we took awhile) and I was pinged to tank Rohash. So I dusted off my affliction spec/glyphs/rotation and went in to tank him. That guy is annoying! His Gale attack interrupts my drain life channel and I have to move around a little bit to avoid cyclones and his knock back so by the time he does his special ability I'm about half down on my 123K health pool. I come down from his hurricane with a splat and die every time. I've tried healthstones, pots, sacrificing my void right before hurricane, teleport, etc. nothing quite works to get my health up enough for me to survive the fall damage of his hurricane move. My recount is telling me I'm doing about 3K HPS on myself but somehow this isn't enough for me to survive just his gale attack. I'm putting up demon armor and soul link. Does anyone have any tips on tanking him?

You should have a healer with you, and avoiding all the things except the slicing gale is easy. Healer stays on Rohash platform during the Ice-guy's ultimate, while you go over there and then jump back once it's done.

We do the opposite. If the healer can top me off before Nezir casts his ultimate; he'll jump over and I'll stay at Rohash since it's easy to survive the Hurricane with Fel Armor and Siphon Life. Also, putting down a Circle close to the middle so you can teleport right before you hit the ground helps a bunch too. (Clarification: This is 10-man I'm talking about)

In 10 man you can do this boss with 2 healers if you have a warlock solo-tanking Rohash (other classes might work too, but I have no experience with that)

I've been drain tanking him in my pvp spec (so I have demonic aegis) and the fight is quite unforgiving (a single mistake will probably kill you), you can effectively port down from the fall damage if the portal is right in the middle of the platform. You also need to maximize the incoming healing by life tapping before haunt bounces back, etc. DPS on him is not very important since when the raid comes in with bloodlust he dies pretty quickly anyway (I had him around 50%)

Good point, but it's easiest to have a shadow priert do it for reasons I shouldn't need to explain.

I have no trouble solo tanking Rohash with my standard Destro spec in 10 man. The only changes I make are to reglyph fear and Shadowflame to Imp Healthstone and Soul Link. Place your portal just to the left or right of Rohash, in his model. This way it can be used to avoid the wind blast if targeted in your area and teleport out of the drop from Hurricane. Pre Netherward on the pull so it has 12 seconds on the cooldown when you engage. Replace Incinerate with Soul Fire as your filler for Soul Leech procs. Use Netherward ASAP on cooldown. Remake your healthstone after you use it, you'll need that second one towards the end. Here is the log from the last time I recorded.

Please forgive me if this has been addressed. The Soulfire Buff (15% haste) appears to work differently than most buffs. In my UI I do not get credit for the buff, unless the buff is not existant. For example if I cast one Soulfire, the first buff must completely fall off before I can get credit for the second soulfire connecting with the target, and starting the buff anew. This is a problem because I just cant cast it repeatedly before it falls off to be safe (clipping).

So now to my question. Has anyone noticed that you are getting the soulfire buff but not the haste on a subsequent cast that falls off but the soulfire blast is in the air and then hits? For example I am casting at less than 2 seconds remaining on a functioning soulfire buff, the buff falls off of me after I finish the cast, but my soulfire is still in the air. It hits the target giving me a new 15 second souldfire buff, but I do not seem to have any haste benefit from it.

Edited:

I did some additional testing and I believe the spell is not working as intended. It has a 15 second cooldown meaning once the 15% haste buff has fallen off it should be able to be reapplied. The buff appears but no bonus to haste appears. Also, if you cast repeated soulfires on the second soulfire to be applied, none of those will reset the counter and start giving the buff. I am not 100% sure but I belive this is a bug. This is something I had overlooked because I saw the soulfire buff itself and assumed I was receiving the haste bonus.

Osakaa, Heart should be better than any of them according to the excel someone posted on the simulation craft thread. Remember that you can stack the spellpower buff again right after you use the haste buff.

Don't forget Improved Soul Fire has a 15 second buff time and a 15 second CD which means you cannot re-apply the haste buff before the 15 seconds are up on your previous buff. I think the way this spell is coded is when your soulfire cast is made it checks whether or not you have the buff and reapplies it if you hit the target AND you didn't have the buff when the soulfire was cast. This means there's an inherent latentcy (equal to the time between you getting the cast off and it actually hitting the target) to the proc'ing of the buff. Because of this mechanic I only cast Soul Fire when I have Soulburn available (and no haste buff) OR when I get the instant cast proc. If I get the instant cast proc I will see if I can time it such that I get the haste buff as well.

Or 3 heal and have a healer on each platform at all times, including a healer "tanking" rohash after all the dps leave the platform. No point in wasting a dps to tank rohash, our resto druid was dpsing while "tanking" him. Makes more sense to have a healer do it but the outcome is p much the same in the end. DPS isn't really an issue here, more execution, no reason to 2 heal.

I have a question on speccing into Soulburn: Seed of Corruption. Which talent would be better to drop a point in, Nightfall or Pandemic? I'm leaning toward 1/2 Nightfall, it is worth noting that I am glyphed for corruption. Soulburn: Seed of Corruption is just too damn good in situations where it is actually useful.
