Talent information:
Talent Tree: Affliction, Tier 2
Requires: 5 points already spent in Affliction Talents
A passive effect that returns a percentage of your mana as well as reducing the threat gained by Affliction spells.

Ranks:

Rank 1: Returns 7% of your maximum mana if the target is killed by you while you drain its soul. In addition, your Affliction spells generate 5% less threat.

Rank 2: Returns 15% of your maximum mana if the target is killed by you while you drain its soul. In addition, your Affliction spells generate 10% less threat.

Further Explanation:
This talent has two parts to it:

Mana returned:
There is a little bit of confusion between some Warlocks in regards to the killing blow part of this talent. Just to clarify, for the mana return the killing blow does not need to be made by Drain Soul itself, however it does need to be made by you. So long as it is one of your spells that lands the killing blow, you will get the benefit.

Threat reduction:
The second part to this talent is the threat reduction of all your affliction spells. The threat reductions is constant and passive so you do not need to worry about activating anything.

Sasztam Character Info Sasztam 80 Human Warlock Dentarg US PvP Guild: Pure Energy Talent Spec: 3/13/55	Re: Improved Drain Soul I say a worthwhile investment if you're going deep affliction, if only to get the 10% threat reduction. The mana return can help with farming, since one drained mob should return most of the mana you used in the fight. Could also be useful in a raiding environment with a boss who summons adds. This is kind of hit and miss, but the ability will be triggered by most add-type mobs and every bit of mana restoration you can get helps. __________________ You don't need defenses, you're ranged!
