Very high mana cost though...380 for immo, 256 for that, 2something for conflag. Thats like over 900 mana ;/ Over a thousand if you count the CoE cast to increase the damage.

Immolate has been long overdue for a mana reduction in my opinion. Even with a crit, talents, and setbonus, the DD portion of the spell rarely tops 1.1k damage without a mage spamming scorch. The dot portion will rarely burn for full on a raid target anyways...I can't count how many times I've tossed up an immo, waited a couple seconds to let it do some dot damage, then found I can't conflag because it has been pushed off.
All Warlock DoTs (save Agony) need a mana cost reduction. Corruption and Siphon Life especially need their overgrown mana costs pruned back. Immolate does, yes, but not as much as the other two, because of it doing damage up front (and, of course, Ruin). Yes, I know not everyone will spec for massive Fire damage (Destruction), but if they lowered it too much, everyone will go after just that build and the damage efficiency would become arguably ridiculous with Elements. Would require some math cranking, but that would be one result.

And why can't these idiots at least leak Demonology? I have to know if they'd actually be more than just lackluster.

PS - Soulshatter is a copout of ridiculous levels. "Hi, my name is the Destruction and Affliction trees, and I'd like to see some threat reduction talents put in before the expansion." Thanks. None of this post level 60 bullshit. That's just an insult.

EDIT - I just read the Felguard thing. I bet it's an Enslave pet too!
