I will have to pay attention to that tonight.
Thanks for the advice.

Thoroly: For myself, I have a 3 DoT rotation macro of Curse of Agony, Corruption and SL when just facing grinding mobs (ex, IQD) then SB once and drain tank. Often I don't even see the need to SB anymore since I also kill much faster, post patch.
For raiding I've been working on a two-tiered DoT rotation, where I start with Macro1 and then keep the DoTs up with Macro2. I have some questions about it after but here are the rotations:
Macro1
Haunt > Curse of Agony (i raid with a CoE lock) > UA > Corruption > Siphon Life
+ SB when it permits.
Macro2
Haunt > UA > Curse of Agony
+ SB when it permits
So the question I have is: Should Haunt be cast first so subsequent DoTs get the 20% boost? Has anyone tried sneaking in Immolate? I tried throwing it in and I got a slight decrease in DPS. Maybe it's a placement thing? It also adds to an already big juggling act.
Please critique. I'm not in love with it, it's just what I cooked up. Looking at it now, I should try dropping Siphon Life which would let me maybe sneak in an extra SB. I should also add that I have the Corruption glyph and am looking for a SB glyph or a Curse of Agony glyph.
Oh and if people want I can post the macro for these later. WoW isn't accessible just this second for me
