DPS doesn't matter. it should never be even a slight concern.
aff does start with 'SB > haunt' so it is fairly up front but iDS doesn't help with that. iDS (and the destro talent) is for sustained threat issues and is more likely to be useful for warlocks who currently find themselves tapping on 130% threat with shatter on CD. people who frequently find themselves having to ask a friendly pally for hand of salvation.

Unfortunately I was using a spec with only 1 point in iDS. We did the daily (or is it weekly?) raid (Noth in Naxx) as a guild and with one of our experienced offtanks I was still pinging aggro and actually grabbed aggro and died with Shatter was on C/D. Granted, we 1-tank and 1-healed it...because it was freaking Naxx-10, so the DK tank had to grab the adds as well so he was not going all out on the mob, but again I was the only DPS that was having aggro issues.
I went ahead and took both points in iDS and a point in DR (Destro) and went to VoA-25 later and had less issues. I was still around 100% for most of Kologarn, but I was also hovering around 6500 DPS so that's perfectly acceptable to have to soulshatter when you're making decent deeps.
I'm worried that Simcraft is going to favor DP in the future once our spirit disappears (if T10 really has none like I last saw). I tried several specs that used DP over LT and could not make them work, the tree is just too topheavy for that to work.

Absolutely, if DP becomes viable (meaning the benefit of the glyph is negated AND DP returns as much as talented LT) the talents aren't needed there...however go ahead and try to build a talent tree without it. There's too much filler that's needed to get to the lower tiers...you're gonna max Suppression AND you're going to have to spend an extra point in the lower part of the tree that you will lose over in the Destro tree (usually an extra point anyway, but for me I'm using it for aggro redux).
I was toying around a bit with it a few weeks ago, and nothing seemed to work as well as just using LT.
