Haunt, Corruption, and Fel Armor makes them the best mana regen class/build in the game and decreases the burden on the healers while doing it. Throw in Imp SB and its all good. The only thing better is the Meta/Ruin build with >2800 spellpower and Demonic Pact with Imp SB.
I'm not knocking on Affliction, it's my favorite raid spec. My point was that Affliction has received a (slight) nerf in theory, and that the nerf was unnecessary because the spec is not hard to play. The reason 0/40/31 is supposed to be the highest DPS raid spec in 3.1 is that it has both a very strong nuke in Conflagrate and an execute in Decimation. I actually decided against speccing Demo/Conflag because that would mean giving up a lot of spellpower. 0/40/31 requires hit cap from gear alone.

I disagree with that not being hard to play. Well, better yet, I'd like to make an adjustment, it isn't a hard spec to play, in all honestly none of them are, but it IS a hard spec to play well. Like almost anything.
