Am i missing something? demonology

[Marketh]

Hi there everyone.

Start off by saying thanks to everyone for the fantastic site which has been my demonic bible throughout my warlock crafting.

right like most people i specced with demo until 40ish then i switched to affliction and drain tanked my way to 70. Since being 70 for quite some time now i started to get into raiding and i was really dissappointed to see my performance and felt that i wasnt doing a good enough job.
Anyway i have now respeeced(several times) to find what i believe to be the best specc for me...but i rarely see anybody talk abotu this specc and it makes me wonder if i am maybe getitng this wrong. So i will now explain the method behind my madness and i could do with some input from people.

I now run with a 0/40/21

ok to start with.

tier 1
i take 2 in imp HS - everyone in my raid loves a good Healthstone.
i take 3 in imp imp - because more often than not people want my imp out over any other demon so atleast when he is out he is tough.
i also take 5 in demonic embrace - really just for filler
Tier 2
on here i only took 3/3 fel Intellect - ,adds to DK and filler talent.

Tier 3
3/3 fel stamina - same reaosn as above
3/3 DEmonic Aegis - +30 spell damage is worth it i think.

Tier 4
5/5 Unholy power - again people in groups want my imp so atleast he can generate some tasty damage to add to mine.

tier 6
i only take demonic sacrifice - its a good talent as some bosses have aoe and keeping a pet alive is sometimes impossible so better to take a buff.

tier 7
1/3 mana feed - since imp or succubus will be using mana a lot i do find my imp out of mana quite often but with this it senough to bump his mana back to full very quickly so more dps.
5/5 master demonologist love this talent, -20% threat or if sccubus +10% damage.

tier 8
1/1 soul link and 3/3 Demonic Knowledge
i feel the added s damage outweighs the -3% to be crit.

tier 9
5/5 Demonic Tactics
right this is the talent im not sure about.
im not sure because i dont get why people dont go for it
i mean +5% Crit chance. surely this talent is godly or am i just not reading it right. i know it used to be +damage a while ago but it seems to be +5% crit.

right thats my demo spec. i didnt take felguard at the moment as most of the time im on imp duty but imo if i want extra damage then my succubus + Ruin would outweigh having a felguard.

right for my destro part its the usual 21 points.
imp sbolt 5/5
bane 5/5
devastation 5/5(another 5% crit) + shadowburn 1/1
2/2 intensity 2/2 destructive reach
1/1 Ruin.

right i dont get why people who want to spec any further into the destro talent spec.
since from the destro spec above 21 point sit goes pretty much fire damage which for me ok isnt great since i do own quite a bit of +shadow gear.
but even then i think my specc wouldnt change just for the fact i get close to the damage bonus from my demo talents than i owuld get if i dropped them and took shadow and flame.
+ the 3% crit from backlash isnt as good as the 5% from DT
althought i dont get the instant proc which im sure is great but does it warrent losing the extra mana regen of my pet which if imp consistently throws out 280-570 every few seconds for the entire fight and not to mention the -20% threat so i can spam sbolt and still keep my threat in check where i have been told by a lot of destro locks that they just have to stop spamming for a couple of seconds..
oh yeah and when i have my pet out with fel armor up my +shadow damage is +1150
my alt has enchanting so i always have the +42 spell damage Oil on my weapon. so i on average run about with 1200 +shadow damage. raid buffed i can get it up to 1380, that was before i replaced some gems for +spell hit
but even then its only dropped to 1350 raid buffed.

Im not saying that this spec is the best for everyone but i spent a lot of time deveolping this spec for me which feels right, as i still offer utility to the raid with my imp and healthstone but at the same time i can pump out some tasty dps. oh yeah which by the way when i switched and went to Kara the other day with my guild i ended up doing a whopping 25% of the totaly damage of the raid with my new spec. for me the 25% of the totaly damage was the nail on my affliction coffin. considering 3 healers, 2 tanks so ok 5 dpsers and 2 tanks yet i managed to pull out 25%. hehe a before you say seed on Illhoof, it was 25% up to illhoof, it then jumped to 30% after illhoof, but i thought the 25% was more accurate since i produced that from the start to the end.
oh yeah and +hit is way overated. well it is and it isnt. this Kara run i done i had like +20hit and i rarely missed. i have since then got it up to +180 so im pretty close to my hit cap. In my expierence tho i dont find that +hit to be the end all. i am however aware of it and have been regemming to incorporate more +hit.

i dont know if i am just having a rant or what, but it was just the other day some rogue from my guild was telling me my specc was a mess, but a lot of my guild jumped to my defense quoting the damage output that i am doing. stupid rogues. not only that but he was taking the mick out of my wand which at the time ok its blue its not epic its green with +24 shadow damage. so to save my blushes i dropped my wand for the +crit from a spellstone until i can get the wand from Heroic UB. annoys me that just because its blue or purple that it makes it better. the reason i had the wand with +24 shadow damage was because nothing at the time of playing affliction rivaled it since affliction is really just about flat out shadow damage since no crit and very little hit is needed. yeah it would be nice to get the UB wand...just never bloody drops lol...

here is my armory
and ye si know i need lots of enchants and i need to get the last 1500 rep with shatar to get the head enchant and yes i know i know i know. im skint ok im really skint, i just got my Belt of blasting yesterday so it felt like a good investment. and the ring thing, tbh i have the tier 2 Voilet signet but tbh honest the stats arnt great on it and not worth replacing the band of dominion until i at least get the 3rd tier voilet signet.

i have a reason for everything. lol some of the reasons are just not good enough :-D

anyway i just need some feedback.
am i doing the right thing?
or have i just lost the plot lol.

Tank you for your time

Believe it or not you're running a cookie cutter spec. 0/40/21 is perfect for someone who doesn't have good enough gear for /0/21/40. You get huge gains from DT and DK and lots of threat reduction from your imp. That spec will be fine through SSC/TK

One thing I will mention is you should avoid gemming for Crit. Take free crit from gear pieces but make sure you get hit capped and then start gemming for spell damage to really make your build shine
