Nice build
although personally, i couldnt live without howl of terror. Its handy when get stuck with something battering you. Its also handy i find in instances where your healer get healing aggro and you can quickly get something off his back.
follow it up with fear in that case, but be prepared to use curse of affliction if he runs somewhere u dont want him to go.
I find its better to open up with immolate as it has a casting time. When you have the mob and he runs over, put siphon life on him and immediately fear. as he runs away, put CoA and corruption on him and move on to the next mob

Fundamental Affliction leveling 101:
http://www.wowhead.com/?forums&topic=14370&p=124879
Drain Life's only use in an instance is when you've taken significant damage and the healer can't spare time to help you. Otherwise, after you've applied the appropriate dots, you should be chaining shadow bolts or life tap/dark pacting for mana. Shadow Bolt will ALWAYS outdamage Drain Life.
As for the silliness involving 33/28/0 above. No. Just... don't. The best part of a build comes from the Dark Pact/Mana Feed combo? And all I have to do is skip every major damage boost affliction and demonology get to do it? It's SL/SL without the survivability.

Pardon? Am I the one who provided a "leveling build" centered around Mana Feed and Dark Pact - two talents you can't have in any combination until 66th level?? By which time any sensible warlock has consigned the voidwalker to purgatory and is either running his felguard or imp?
No, I'm the one who provided a step-by-step guide to the new player, explaining what to pick and how to grind.
Leveling efficiently is all about two things: maximum damage, minimum downtime. Between level 30 and level 50, drain tanking is the unchallenged king of leveling simply because the Affliction tree provides so many immediately useful damage and grinding talents while the demo tree provides... extra stamina. And as I've already pointed out, your build doesn't get the infinite mana you claim until the late 60s. Deep affliction manages that on its own through drain tanking and dark pact at 40.
If you're pumping points into demo early to make your voidwalker a "beast", then you're ignoring your damage talents and slowing your leveling. If you're pumping those points into affliction for the damage talents and hoping the voidwalker will hold aggro, you're delusional.
You have been told you are wrong by two of the regular posters to this forum because, *gasp*, YOU ARE WRONG. And fortunately, there are enough of us here who genuinely want to provide good advice to the new players to correct you.

...just because you post regularly doesnt mean youre intelligent or know what youre talking about.
That's true. But proper capitalization and punctuation do help to get that impression across. More importantly, the fact that I can point to significant errors in your build and explain how they will make it less effective is strong evidence that I do indeed know what I'm talking about.
anyways i just wanted to thank you for protecting the secrets of how to level a warlock in TBC.
Thanks for the sig!
