Not sure if you have tried this spec, but you might be surprised at the threat generated.
Could you post a link to your thread?

Whether aggro is an issue or not greatly depends on your tanks. At this point, tank threat generation is so high that even us Warlocks won't be able to overaggro a druid or paladin tank.

We're progressing on hardmodes now and the only encounter where I actually need to shatter is Hodir (where I push 20k burst dps). Usually I'm destro/suppression which has an even highier burst damage potential as I get to stack more haste and SP. Even then, no aggro problems whatsover.

On IC, for instance, we're constantly standing in the power-runes, which makes 10-12k sustained dps fairly easy to achieve. In that occasion, vigilance is enough to keep me from shattering.

If aggro is a problem, take a close look at how your tank 'itemizes'. That's bound to be the reason.

THIS, but without losing a bag for "ammo". Give me my 4th bag back dammit! I'd like to see the "soul prism" idea that sits in the "ammo" slot on the paper doll and gets filled up with "shards". Keep the drain/use mechanic, but fix the storage system!

Re: Soul Shard woes in Ulduar...

I dont know if you realize this but you can now drain shards off friend in a duel.. so in ulduar when I run out or low.. I just duel a raidmate outside and drain soul on him till im full again..

you can also drain shards off the training dummies now.. i am destro spec and do go thru quite a bit.. but being able to drain em off people without killing them is way too easy..

Re: Soul Shard woes in Ulduar...

This is prob already in thread, didn't read it all, but I just dual someone and use rank 1 drain soul. Rank 1 drain soul does about 11 damage a tick, so you can drain the forever. But this is best way I found as destruction to get shards in ulduar runs.
