Again, great post. I have sent the link out already!  Thanks for posting it. |
1. Drain Life's dps is terrible compared to shadowbolt. That's why you want to use shadowbolt instead of drain life. And I use dark pact / life tap as well, as needed, during filler time. I probably implied it, rather than outright stated it. Sorry for the confusion.
2. I didn't calculate the DPCT of haunt for 2 reasons. The first, its DPCT is lower than shadowbolt, so it's not something you want to use every time the 8 second cooldown is up. You want to instead wait to recast it so that a new one lands right before the previous one ends. The second reason, regardless of it's DPCT based upon its own damage, it's true value is that it's a debuff that increases your DoT damage by 20%. That's the real reason you cast haunt.
