PVE Affliction Warlock Meta Gem

Back at 70 when I was a destruction lock, I was in love with Chaotic Skyflare Diamonds. Now I am doing better damage as an affliction lock, but I don't know what meta gem to go with. All I have seen are some spell damage gems with a minor bonus added, and nothing as nice as +3% crit damage. The reduced threat from the Bracing Earthsiege Diamond sounds good, but since 3.02, I haven't had much of a threat issue at all. At this point, I'm thinking of going for Tireless Skyflare Diamond as the run speed seems like it would be useful the most often.

What are your opinions on metagems for Affliction Warlocks?

Re: PVE Affliction Warlock Meta Gem

Has anyone got any dps values on both the Ember Skyflare Diamond and the Chaotic Skyflare Diamond for a Haunt/Ruin build?

I forget the exact numbers but I ran them a while back and for haunt/ruin it is still a chaotic on top.

It is better. Especially with Purified Twilight Opals out.

Re: PVE Affliction Warlock Meta Gem

I have the bracing one, every time. 2% threat might be much but it might save a soul shatter and increase the amount of time you are dealing damage.
