why is affliction crap for 5man? heck when do you need to min max 5man? why exactly are the other specs "better" then affliction?
spam bolts or immo / incinerate if you're so concerned about the damage meters for trash in 5man

"PvP not balanced about 1-1" is Blizzards way to avoid discussing PvP balance at all. Yet PvP is not balanced at 1-1, 2-2 Arena, 3-3 arena. 5-5 arena, 10-10 WSG etc etc. Blizzard says 1-1 isn't important to avoid discussions about PvP balance - it's just a copout. If they can't balance 1-1, how will they figure out how to balance anything else? They've certainly made a complete mess of class balance at every level of PvP so far.
Re 5-man groups: Affliction with only SB/Indinerate is the lowest dps of any damage class. Yet it takes 3 seconds for the first DoT tick, by which time the target is nearly dead from burst damage.
Yet 'locks have very low utility in a small random group.
Naturally we are the last to be invited.
The thread is "How broken are 'locks (in Wrath of the Lich King)" It looks to me like Affliction 'locks have no role outside tuned raids. Bad news for me, since I'm a casual player who enjoys world PvP, BG PvP, and occasionally doing quests and instances in 5-man PuGs.
From my personal perspective, locks are looking *very' broken in Wrath of the Lich King.
