Yes im currently demo and i also get the disconnect on first login attempt. Needs Fix!

Demo, get DC on EVERY first connect as well. Will test if this applies to my secondary Destruction spec as well.

EDIT: Just tested it repeatedly. Exiting game in destruction-spec and all is ok. Demo, on the other hand, DCs me everytime.

Quoting my own post from the official forums on the topic of Demonic Pact not proccing. Perhaps someone here is able to find any reasons for this bug based on the combat log.

I tried to reproduce the problem on a training by putting the felguard on stay and running away and using dismiss from the context menu. Neither resulted in any problems. I did not specifically test with Prayer of Spirit as I have not had any problems with that since 3.2.2.

I also tried looking at the combat log but could not figure out anything based on it. Hopefully you at Blizzard are better at debugging it:

The Warlock Demonology disconnect problem is caused by the talent "Improved Demonic Tactics".
I had been working with Tech support / GM's regarding this problem until we found the resolution.

Hello

Respecing into a single talent in demonology causes the issue we have identified it and are working on a solution. The talent is Improved Demonic Tactics please do not spec into this talent and you should be ok. we are working on a solution please check back from time to time so I can give you a progress report on the situation.

I have also been experiencing a large number of disconnects anytime the game has to load a zone while Meta spec. The main culprit is Dalaran, although for me it isn't just the first time entering the game, it seems to periodically happen throughout the night (and only while in meta spec on my warlock).

I have not had any problems with the spirit buff elsewhere than Anub'Arak but using Divine Spirit instead of Prayer of Spirit seems to fix the problem.

I don't know whether this is new information to you all, but the way in which the Demonic Pact fails to work "only occurs" if there is a raid member who doesn't have the raid-wide Prayer of Spirit buff.

I have logs from this evening and I was wondering exactly why it was failing on some tries and not on others, and lo-and-behold we see that it's exactly the fights where someone arrived late and got a single Divine Spirit.

Furthermore, the way it fails is exactly as follows:

The person with a single Divine Spirit gets the initial crit buff and the raid doesn't get it. The second pet crit applies the buff to the raid as normal. During the fight when Demonic Pact fell off, later applications worked as intended. But the first one only went to the special single person in the raid with the single buff.

Maybe this will help in telling Blizzard what exactly they need to do to fix it if they don't already know.

I also have a second bug to report from tonight. Is it intended that we can't use Shoot while in Demon form? (You can guess what fight I was doing tonight now)

Tested without any addons.

The warlock talent Backdraft (rank 3)states:

When you cast Conflagrate, the cast time and global cooldown of your next three Destruction spells is reduced by 30%. Lasts 15 sec.

This talent is not working correctly with the following Destruction spells however:

Rain of Fire(rank 7) and Hellfire (rank 5). I did not test lower ranks of these, but can if necessary.

Rain of Fire does not consume a charge of Backdraft, and does not receive 30% haste from the proc.

Hellfire, however, DOES consume a charge of Backdraft, but does not receive 30% haste from the proc.

Not gamebreaking..but still a bug

Just thought I'd chime in (for the first time) because I had this issue as well when I was Demo, and when I did some research another blue post suggested the DC is a "currently a known issue where players with a Felguard summoned will disconnect upon logging in":
World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> WoW disconnects as soon as my warlock logs in

I tried dismissing before logging off and it worked for me, but I had no idea about the Imp Demonic Tactics bug. I have since respecced out of Demo (for other reasons), but which issue was it? Or was it a combo of both?

EDIT: It makes sense it could be Demonic Tactics since without a demon summoned, the buff was not active on login...just wondering...

Interestingly, ShadowFury seems to not consume a charge of backdraft, AND DOES get the +30% haste.

Rather strange behaviour! All 3 AoE Spells work differently with backdraft, and none of them work the way the tooltip says!

[Edit] I am an idiot, Shadowfury has a stupidly fast GCD anyway, so I don't think backdraft is affecting it. Or if it is, its rather hard to tell![/Edit]
