Ok, I'd start here: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

Most folks will start at 71, as you can not have both Siphon Life and a Fel Guard at 70. I think the Felguard is integral to the build, so I'd go with the above, then add SiLi at 71.

I'd work towards this: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

You can play around with it, but for levelling/grinding there is no point in doing something like Demonic Pact, Nemesis, or Decimation.

I've recommended glyphs as well, namely Felguard, Curse of Agony, and Corruption glyphs. These are not what you'll use at 80, but for levelling they are awesome. Bear in mind you are mostly only casting Curse of Agony, Corruption, and SB... so these glyphs will be rocking. You won't have a ton of spirit, so the Life Tap glyph won't make sense yet. Buffed Curse of Agony and instant shadowbolts from Corruption proccing the glyph = win for this build.

Keep in mind you are mainly doing instant DoTs with Curse of Agony and corruption, so I've invested points after 71 into buffing Corruption further, and buffing shadow damage with Shadow Mastery. If you are having trouble soloing some group quests, you can always pull some of those points out and put a couple in improved Health Funnel.

Have fun, and at some point I encourage you to try a Metamorphosis build. I spent several levels on the way to 80 with 60 points in Demonology and I had a blast and I'm still a Meta fan. Here is a fun one to try out in the mid 70's. Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

This one goes to Meta, adds Nemesis so you have it available a LOT, and adds Destro tools to give your Shadowbolt great punch + Shadowburn for an instant finishing nuke. You can hit this build as early as 74 if you drop the 2 in Imp. Health Funnel and put those in at 75 and 76. Big fun! Maybe not as non-stop as the above builds, but with massive AoE OMGWTFBBQ mode with Meta, immo aura, Seed of Corruption, and Rain of Fire/Hellfire AoE bombing. Yes you will have some down time after you do the AoE Bombing, but you'll need time to pick up all the loot from the 10 mobs you just killed anyway. Any warlock who has never tried this is missing one of the most fun talents in the game IMO. You might end up a cookie-cutter Destro raid spec at 80, so this is the time to enjoy the Meta goodness!
