Lightbulb Making the Aff. Rotation Less of a Monster

As we all know, the Affliction Rotation is pretty much watching a timer mod and squeezing Shadow Bolts in where possible. We have to manage

Code:
UA
SiL
CoX (Agony, Elements, Doom, Recklessness, Weakness)
Immo
Haunt
Shadow Bolt
Life Tap
Corruption has already been effectively removed from the rotation, and I would like to propose simplifying further.

My idea is to add UA and SiL to the Everlasting Affliction talent, as these have no benefit from being on the mob for a long time without a refresh like Curse of Agony, and they are, after all, DoTs from speccing deep Affliction.

The new spells needing to be recast would look like this:

Code:
Immolate
CoX (Agony, Elements, Doom, Recklessness, Weakness)
Haunt
Shadow Bolt
Life Tap
Which is, in my opinion, much more manageable, and would enable an Affliction Warlock to look up from the dot timer every now and again to check for fire or see the encounter.

Now I would welcome a discussion, needless to say I personally think this would be a great change, but then I would, wouldn't I
