Nothing! I had like 95 JC tokens to buy a ton of the new recipes. And I prospected 35 stacks of Titanium ore I had banked and got 5.5 stacks of titanium dust to get more JC tokens. I actually got 37 epic gems out of the prospecting...7 Cardinals!
And with ~320 badges saved, I can buy a butt load of raw epic gems too.

I understand that given the duration change (which I believe was implemented to stop afflocks from lifetapping every 20 sec regarless of need) it might be a little more appealing but I think that ISL and lifetap are almost complete opposite methods of accomplishing the same task and taking LT glyph isn't helping your dps more than the incinerate glyph does. I could be wrong, obviously, but this is my perspective. I'd need to see some proof stating otherwise.
I disagree. The duration change for the Life Tap glyph makes it very attractive. Even with the improvements to ISL, you will still need to Life Tap about half-way through the fight (although still, not as often than w/o ISL). Plus Glyph of Life Tap gives 100+ spell power which is significant.

I'm still up in the air about which is better: Glyph of Immolation or Glyph of Incinerate. I think that Immolation is better because it also increases Conflag damage by quite a bit. So I kept Immolate and dropped Incinerate with Life Tap.

Mind you, I'm the designated 5% crit debuff spell flinger for my guild. So I dropped SL and ISL in favor of 5 points in ISB. However, I did try it with ISL and thought that 40 seconds was plenty of time and the loss of a GCD every 40 seconds is very insignificant IMHO.

Plus, you can easily Life Tap just before a boss fight and have a good duration of 100+ spell power without ever cutting into your actual rotation GCDs.

Edit:
PLUS! How many fights are there now where you absolutely do not have to move for a whole 40 seconds? Not too many Patchwork like bosses coming our way... almost all the new fights there is some amount of movement and what better to fill that time than a life tap?

I think people should give it a try. I need to hop on EJ and see what they are saying. But keep in mind that their simulations are based on Patchwork fights and under ideal conditions. I say at least give Glyph of Life Tap a try with the change and see if it helps your DPS at all. Certainly works out great for me with my 5/5 ISB raid requirement.

Re: 3.2 changes - what will you do?

It is a thought. I will leave it for now, but over time if it turns out to be a valid choice for alot of warlocks, it might be something i would consider.

3.1 Re: 3.2 changes - what will you do?

So how do we name the T9 gear now?

There's an ilvl 232, 245 and 258 set if I'm not mistaken...
T9.10, T9.25 and T9.hc comes to my mind...

Anyways, I think anybody will want to upgrade to T9 gear over time. There's just too much raw spellpower in there to neglect...

gonna do the gemming today. I stupidly spend some titanium yesterday to get my JC skill up to 450... but who cares... got enough badges

Tier 9, Tier 9.25, Tier 9.5

A lot of folks were using the same format for the Tier 8 stuff (I saw references to Tier 8.25 may times).
