<Preaching about my new specFollow

Just respeced to this build I've been wanting to try for a while. But I've been hesitant to give up UA and iHoT.

Well, I did it....









AND IT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

First thing you should know is my basic info:

7k health
570 spell damage
Level 66

Anyway..

This build is wonderful. I even had the PERFECT BG to test it out in. The Alliance team had 2 Hunters, 2 Warrior, and 8 Rogues. All of these classes used by my #1 enemies as Affliction. Not any more. They do still whoop my *** sometimes, but my ability to survive and use my spells wisely makes things so much easier.

YES I killed alot of Rogues tonight. ALOT!!! And I didn't even have any Netherweave Nets.

My playstyle:

1. Siphon life, siphon life, siphon life. 5x siphon life is 650 health every 3 seconds. I tank. I grab attention, throw siphon life everywhere, then pick a target and put corruption/curse on him and drain tank. I DO take the risk of getting pummeled/kicked, because it's worth it(I may re-think this, hehe).

2. Curse, curse, curse. Fear, fear, fear. Debuffing and CCing are my second priority. I support my team with curses and CCs. Banish, fear, curse of exhaustion, whatever it takes.

Now, some people won't enjoy this build because they will miss the larger damage output of a full affliction/demo build, rather than a hybrid build. Guess what? My damage output went UP! In PvE, my damage would probably go down. But in PvP, I stay alive SO long that I end up doing massive damage.

The first 3 BGs I was in, I didn't look at the score board till the end because I wanted to just play the spec out without thinking about anything else.

I topped the killing blows, damage done, and healing done charts (healing done, obviously, I usually came after main healers.. but sometimes I came pretty close). On top of that, I have some of the lowest death counts. But due to my PvP tanking style, I do end up with 5-10 deaths sadly.

PETS:

Felhunter and voidwalker. I always run in with felhunter. I get tons of resist, on top of Devour Magic (IMO, my favorite tool). And of course spell lock. Ever in trouble? Ok, pop Fel Dom and summon Void for a 4k shield (hence the points in imp void.. :( unfortunatly we can't use this in the Arena)

Anyways, I've ranted on for a long time. If you have any comments, questions, or input on the build/playstyle, I'd love to hear some things that could improve it even more.

Edit:

Just wanted to emphasize the fact that I KILLED ALOT OF ROGUES! :D It makes me so happy to kill them! Warriors still give me trouble, though. Damn 2k white crits, mortal strike and pummel.

Edit 2:

LOL I just took on 2 hunters at the same time, one BM and one marks. Then a mage fireballed me for the rest of my life :(
