Unfortunately I will have to defer most of the questions that were asked so far off to Eluminite as they address the leveling/high end stuff that I don't have any experience with yet. But I can answer the question about dark pact/shadow bite. Shadow Bite gives a HUGE amount of mana the the felhunter. I will experiment more with it tonight to try and get you some numbers but it looked to me like there would not be a problem with an affliction lock keeping out a felhunter and not having mana problems.

Also, I feel like I have to tell you guys about my first experience with the new dark pact.

...DAMN.

Keep in mind that my dark pact will get even more powerful than I am seeing since it and lifetap scale with spirit now instead of +damage but in a single dark pact I burned half of my imp's manabar, giving me over 4000 mana back. I see this resulting in less lifetaps and more time spent keeping dots up/moving/shadowbolting.
