Talent Cheatsheet for Affliction Warlock
Taloc
More Taloc Guides on Icy Veins
This is a standard single target build, and smart Demonic Circle placement can alleviate the movement required during Phase One. In Mythic, you most likely will have at least Dark Soul: Misery once for every phase.
M.O.T.H.E.R.
More M.O.T.H.E.R. Guides on Icy Veins
Warlocks should be among the last to cross the Defense Grid, as we do not have a convenient interrupt to deal with the Remnant of Corruption adds that spawn, and our single target boss damage is high. The Demonic Gateway is a great tool for helping the raid deal with the Wind Tunnel, as it allows you to get a few extra casts off for free before gating away from the danger. Demonic Circle can be placed in each chamber for a similar advantage.
Dark Soul: Misery is a great talent for this boss, as you can really pump out serious numbers for the final chamber.
Ensure you have your cooldowns ready for the third chamber, as the boss takes 100% additional damage due to Depleted Energy.
Fetid Devourer

Demonic Circle is a great way to deal with the Shockwave Stomp present on Heroic and Mythic, although it is not available for every knockback, unless you time it exactly when the ability happens. If Demonic Circle is on cooldown try to position next to a column, to reduce the knockback distance. In Mythic you may want to rotate your cooldown for each add phase.
Zek'voz, Herald of N'Zoth
More Zek'voz, Herald of N'Zoth Guides on Icy Veins
Zek'voz is mainly a single target fight with brief add phases. Siphon Life is a better choice over Absolute Corruption since Silithid Warriors will be grouped up and you can spread Corruption with Seed of Corruption.
Make good use of Demonic Circle throughout the fight, as there are a variety of mechanics that necessitate movement. Demonic Gateway is a particularly good tool for assisting with Eye Beam or Roiling Deceit. Warlocks make a great candidate for Orb of Corruption due to our exceptional damage cooldowns during the last phase.
Vectis
More Vectis Guides on Icy Veins
This is more or less a Patchwerk style fight, so focus on maximizing your damage output. Dark Soul: Misery is also great on this fight, due to the amount of downtime in the intermission. Talent Demon Skin to reduce the steady income of damage taken and help your healers.
Zul, Reborn
More Zul, Reborn Guides on Icy Veins
Zul focus is boss damage. If you have at least 1 Inevitable Demise talent into Absolute Corruption and use adds to funnel additional damage on the boss, else use Siphon Life. Warlocks are good candidates for soaking Pool of Darkness, make good use of Unending Resolve or Dark Pact if you talent into it.
Mythrax the Unraveler
More Mythrax the Unraveler Guides on Icy Veins
Warlocks are great for this fight, due to our high cleave and single target pressure. Pay careful attention to your timers before using cooldowns, however, as there are a lot of difficult mechanical overlaps that might force you to movement for extended periods. In Mythic use Summon Felhunter to help with interrupt on the distant add during intermission, and make use of Absolute Corruption to damage the add even when its not targetable.
G'huun
More G'huun Guides on Icy Veins
G'huun focus is boss damage. While Absolute Corruption may sounds the best choice for Phase One adds, clever use of Summon Darkglare to extend dots can offer equal DoT uptime, while retaining superior boss damage by talenting Siphon Life. Depending on the strategy and raid composition you will have to place Demonic Gateway and Demonic Circle in different places. During last phase you can refresh Dots or channel Drain Life without facing the boss when hes about to fear the raid.
