I have kept to my own warlock for the most part until a friend of mine was doing some weird things. Things that someone who knows whats considered right and wrong would understand.
For example, she didnt know what a doomguard pet was or how to get one in the 2 methods.
Didnt know how to get an infernal pet.
She was affliction and chose to never use elements as it didnt buff shadow damage.
Constantly used life tap and wasnt specced into dark pact.
Always used big blue for everything.
And didnt want to use spellstones/firestones because she liked her off hand weapon better.
That was all fine as she was a casual player.
But now im noticing that many other warlocks doing the same thing...

Yeah i meant using big blue for everything including raiding and instances as well as soloing.
Dark pact ends up better because it costs nothing but a single talent point for FREE mana. And since pet spells are dirt cheap and on long cooldowns, they rarely use it. 3 Dark pact whacks and im 2/3 mana with no health cost. And if im really desperate for mana i can tap once at let my armour heal me. Now im 100% mana 90% health and climbing fast.
Infernals are great for when your pet dies due to unforseen circumstances like random aoe or being feared or ... your own stupidity hehe. Only 2 second cast for a beast of a pet in terms of dps for 1 min. And since most fights outside of raids dont last longer than a minute to minute 30, the 1 min timer is a non issue.
The 15 min doomguard does incredible dps for only a pet. Ive seen him do 2/3 of my own damage. And as affliction i have 1200 sp. Sure the cod version really sux with only a 5 min timer and high maintenance but its useful for soloing something bigger than normal or more than a couple mobs at once.
As for the death effect of the ritual being ancient news, i STILL have trouble convincing someone it wont kill them.

I like my life tap. 'Course I'm demo spec but my mana pool is huge compared to my FG, if I started stealing his mana I would need to steal it all leaving him with no cleaves or charges which means a decent dps drop in the instances. Charge isn't for dps obviously, but it's a nice intercept when a mob goes for a healer or to interrupt.

lol, fhoulan, you like life tap because it's you only option as a demo lock >.<
life tap = win
dark pact = fail
most of this stuff is not keeping up with current changes or not caring 'cause she's casual. you've got to be careful about calling people noob (or worse nub). it has a tendency to come back and bite you.

lol, you're right! I was speaking from a hypothetical as if I had an option between the two. In that case, I still think life tap would be the way to go. I hear that stealing your imp's mana if fun since the pool is huge, but my Felguard ate my imp a long long time ago
