Spec for 5mans, 2x2 arena, and BGs

Which of these following fairly standard specs would be best for an equal combination of 5mans, 2x2 arena, and BGs? (Also make any suggestions you might have about the individual specs) My arena partner would be a shaman or a hunter.


24/37

(or 27/34)


43/7/11 (or 44/17/0)

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=Ii0riRfkqtbobxZxx0z

Or should i instead go demo 20/41/0 or 9/41/11 for a good combo of efficcacy for 5mans, 2x2 arena, and BGs.

In the end, I definitely would like to be pretty good for 5 mans but also be as good as possible for pvp.

Thanks!

24/37/0 is great for PvP but you will suffer in 5-mans without Bane. No PvP spec will be really well suited to doing 5 mans, but you can get through them without an optimized build anyway.

How will 43 7 11 do in a 2x2 areana?

I've heard (haven't done yet myself) that affliction builds are really good for 2v2 and 3v3. I usually read Death and Taxes arena forum and they recommend that build for PVP (2v2 - 3v3 arenas). Like you, I think that Imp DS is worse that 2 points in supression.

Not necessarily. I run with a 24/37/0 spec, and am consistently #1 or #2 on the Boss DPS meters (around 550-590 DPS, no CoS, no Shadow priest, no iSB, no flask, MD imp). I never use Shadowbolt except for NF procs. I keep CoD/Corr/SiLi/immolate up and spam incinerate.

It's not the best situation, but it's perfectly viable for PvE, and the closest thing we got to god-mode for PvP.

Affliction becomes really good for 2v2 and 3v3 once you have the health and resilience to make it work, i.e. 12k+ health and 300ish resilience. At that point you have the staying power to last through the initial burst and dish out the dps. Without a fair amount of BG/Arena gear a more demo-ish hybrid will be much more forgiving in 2v2 and 3v3 in terms of pure survivability.
