Man, Paladins in their current state are extremely difficult classes for Affliction locks to beat.

Since we have very little direct damage, and all of our instant casts are DoT's, if a decently geared 60 paladin has all his cooldowns up, I'm at a loss as to how to beat one in a level fight.

You burn half your mana bar lighting them up with DoT's only to have them blow their god bubble and remove everything including Unstable Affliction, at which point they Hammer of Justice you, LoH and then beat you down...

If you're lucky you get a fear off, which they trinket out of, then they go fear proof and it's game over.

Felhunter can't eat their god bubble...In fact, the only way we even have a shot at these guys is if they wait until their final 1/3rd health and we can get a spell lock, deathcoil, fear going.
