With this rotation you lose up times of your Curse of Agony, and Corr with the synergy of your Haunt spell because you are spending time on casting Immolate (1 - 1 1/2 seconds)
My rotation:
Shadow Bolt > Haunt > UA > Curse of Agony > Corruption > Immolate > Siphon Life.
means that Curse of Agony and Corruption gets more of the Haunt effect for longer than yours and therefore over all more DPS.

The reason that Fallen casts UA > Immolate is because they have the same ticking time, and can be cast 1 right after another whenever they're about to go off of the mob.
I use the same exact rotation as him, and have been for a while, though i've been slipping Corruption in after Haunt and if i'm doing CoE because of no boomkin I apply it first..
so my rotation, though mostly the same is Curse of Elements(if no Boomkin) Shadowbolt > Haunt > Corruption > UA > Immolate > Curse of Agony (If there's a boomkin) > SiLi
I'm not the best geared, i'm decent, but my max DPS is 2100, and surprisingly that was in ZA, not even a 25 man. I'm consistently top 5 on the charts, and my entire raid DPS is usually 1300-1400. Boss fights I push upwards of 1900 DPS usually.
Great guide! This will definitely help out the other warlocks wanting to try affliction(like a few in my guild).. I have one question though, you obviously use your Fel Hound, do you try to micro manage when your fel hound does Shadow Bite? If he stays alive throughout the encounter(kinda hard on Archimonde and Illidan for example) he does a decent amount of damage.
