If however it does increase the duration of UA/Immo, that seems like a stronger Affliction buff than Destro. Currently, Immo's dot is weak dps and most of destruction's damage comes from incin/conflag. I hope the 4pc bonus gets reworked before going live.

I don't mean to come off dickish but that's clearly not what the set bonus does.
Lets look at
Kel'Thuzad's Gloves of Conquest and break it down, and phrequency I don't mean to single you out here, this isn't really directed at you, more the 15-20 whispers I get a day asking me what I think of the set bonus, hopefully this will trim down some of that.
Any ways as we can see the first bonus is this:
"(2) Set: Increases your pet's critical strike chance with its abilities by 10%."
Based on the change to
Empowered Imp specifically the upping of the benefit to us as copola stated it's basically an increased chance for us to crit of just under 10%. It's under for two reasons 1) do to the fact that it can double proc and you can essentially, and 2) because there is a chance (based on your crit that you would have crit any ways and there by the buff means nothing, Either way it IS in fact a large increase to crit. Assuming your pet crits roughly 13% as is in raid which would roughly yeild, I believe I saw from my last simcraft run a 10% increased critical chance, then this would be about a 7-8% chance to crit increase on top of the meaning your pet increases your crit% by 17% and that the 2 pc bonus is effectively 2% better than our current 4 pc for destro ONLY. It's still pretty terrible for affliction though it is a DPS increase.
Now lets look at the 2nd set bonus.
"(4) Set: Increases the damage done by your Immolate, Corruption, and Unstable Affliction spells by 0.011 sec."
Ok so this set bonus clearly increased damage done by your spell by what % is hard to tell from the bonus, and the time thing is in error, they've made mistakes like this in past ptr's and it's just something you have to over look. Essentially your 4pc though will do x amount more dmg than you would have with out it.
Corruption ticked for 509 with t9 and 455 with out. IE it ticks about 11% harder with the new set bonus. Thats pretty hefty increase to both aff and destro, though I'm not sure if it will make Corr worth using for destro it certainly levels out the 2 specs.
