I had a mind-blow the other day with this. The last I remembered, Shadowburn would consume all three charges of Havoc. I've only been 'locking for about a year and a half, so maybe I was just that stupid. You can get a lot of burst damage done by targeting the highest HP mob with Havoc, and spamming SB on the lower HP targets around it. I love when Iskar walks back in after adds with one or two still up and close or at 20%. Xhul is another fight that benefits really well from this: Voidlings low? target that miniboss with Havoc and go to town.

I haven't tested DoT damage, but Destruction is one of the few specs that stil has to deal with "snapshotting" even though true snapshotting has been removed (thanks MoP Affliction). You actually have to watch procs and pool embers accordingly with this spec.

Umm... I'm going through and building a BiS list as we're getting close to finishing heroic. I've already got a good idea of what I'm looking for, but I noticed some weird choices I'm curious about. Why are so many ____/versa pieces rated so highly? I mean, there are some slots where versa>haste pieces are rated over mastery>crit/crit>mastery with only around a 20-30 intellect difference. WAT?! I was under the assumption, (and simcraft told me so... so...yeah) that mastery is generally going to be my best stat as you should be playing a Warlock, and not just a Destruction Warloc

I'll give it a shot tomorrow night. Going off of what you told me, and the rest of this thread, Thogar and Maidens should be good places to test the merits of each (one requiring more direct damage, and one with more worry free cleave). I have to say, seeing people list Destro as viable makes me happy: CR looks like a really fun talent. Thanks for the help!

Having joined the warlock train during Destro's reign in MoP, I want to disrupt the Demo/Aff monotony with a little Chaos Bolt action. I was breaking the fights down by ST vs Cleave/AoE and using Affliction for ST/Hans&Franz, Demonology for the rest. After seeing some interesting opinions on Destro's role in ST and selective burst encounters, my interest has been piqued. I have two questions: Is there a target stat req for Destro to be truly viable on Patchwerk style fights, or tier limitations? I'll post my armory for direct answers to these. And, I'm seeing a lot of GoSyn rec
