I'm sorry but when have Blizz ever taken your individual opinion into consideration regarding how they make warlocks work? That would be never right? In that case, go read the stickies cause that's the way to do things right.

Of course it is! What you need to remember is cata is different than wotlk. Us dps have to take some responsibility for keep ourselves from being dead. Also you need to keep in mind, there are alot less dps talents in each spec now, and more of those "utility" talents that Blizz claim are "fun". And honestly... don't you think someone would have complained about factual errors?

Shadowburn is a fantastic tool for any boos fight that has add's in it. Just like Drain Soul it gives us back shard's that we have used up, not to mention it's an instant cast. It's no longer just a leveling spell but is actually useful in a raid environment.
Personally I think Shadowfury should be part of destro's opening on each and every pull in cata. Giving us more time to get the CC set up. The stun effect of Shadowfury is almost long enough to cover the full cast time of Fear, and frankly any time the mob's arn't hitting someone is good.
We all know Shadow Ward was only useful when dealing with Shadow Damage encounters. But don't forget Nether Ward deals with ANY spell damage. And with Nether Protection you are taking 30% less damage from that type of spell damage for 12 seconds. That's pretty much the length of most (not all but a fair few) damage over time effects from bosses or even from mobs.
Now while none of these spells has a huge impact on our dps... wait I lie. All of these spells have a MASSIVE effect on our dps. Because dead toons can't dps. And Soul Shard's give us that little extra bit on top so having extra of those is always good. But back to my original point... In today's world of mana starved healers and high damage trash everyone in a group has to work together to succeed, not just do those same old smash n grab kind of tactics from Wrath.

Ok, so we all know CC starts the pull in 5mans atm. But if you're not the first CC when you fear, doesn't shadowfury break the other CC's? Since, y'know, it does damage and stuff?
I'd use it on the mobs that are actually hitting the tank, not just to have more time to get that CC off. If CC is timed right, using Shadowfury that way does not give any benefit whatsoever.
But yeah, shadowfury is amazingly useful in PvE, and people should start to realize that.

True, if timed right you are correct. I should mention that whenever I would use Shadowfury like that in the past I would inform everyone what I was planning, so as to co-ordinate and not be braking CC's. And before anyone says "Oh but we didn't CC in Wrath", just go back and think about Heroic HoR, when you and your entire group undergeared it. That was a CC fest for a while.

Well Shadowfury is still of better use after the CC pull has happened. Melee trash not hitting the tank and casts/channels interrupted. Win-win I'd say :)
