+==========+
| Immolate |
+==========+

Immolate is a combined quick cast Direct Damage spell with a DoT afterwards. 
Think of it as the Mage's Fireball, only the other way around(Low direct damage
with high dot). It is very effective though, especially for a non-affliction
Warlock, as it will deal damage quicker than Corruption, although not as much.
It becomes even better for a full Destruction Lock since much of the last 
talents of the Destruction tree is based around fire and Immolate.

There is some debate on just how much Immolate gains from +Damage, and the same
goes for the Dot that is applied afterwards. 

+------+-------+--------------+------+------+

+------+-------+--------------+------+------+



+============+
| Corruption |
+============+

If properly specced, Corruption is a very high damage dot. It gains all the 
+damage that you have spread over the duration of the DOt, and if Affliction
specced, it can be instant cast making it one of the best damaging spells the 
Warlock have. It does not break fear as easily as a Shadow Bolt would, so it's
ideal to use for fear-kiting mobs.

Corruption is not without its flaws however, if you're not specced Affliction
then it will usually deal less damage than spamming Shadowbolts straight away,
especially if you're Destruction Specced with Improved Shadow Bolt and Bane.
One of the reasons for this is that without Improved Corruption it has a two
second cast time. By the time the first tick have gone off, you could almost
already have gotten a Shadow Bolt of. 

An earlier problem with Corruption was that it would often be pushed out of the
debuffslots, but with the new 40 debuffslots, this is hardly a problem anymore
and Corruption is even better than before. 

Corruption is also now greatly boosted by talents, Improved Corruption, 
Empowered Corruption, Shadow Embrace and Contagion boosts it heavily.

Corruption gains 100% of +damage.

+------+-------+---------+------+------+



+================+
| Curse of Agony |
+================+
(I've placed it under Dots as it only works as a dot)

Curse of Agony is a good Curse/Dot for soloing, as it can do a good deal of 
damage if stacked with both Corruption and Immolate. It's normal to start the
fight with Curse of Agony as it lasts the longest, and it starts off with 
little damage which increases over time and ticks. This prevents a high threat
generation right away, which again makes it easier for the Voidwalker to main-
tain aggro.

Generally, if fighting an equal level monster, Curse of Agony, Corruption and
Immolate is usually enough to kill the monster. You might have to assist with
a Soul or Life Drain, or perhaps a few wandshots, but it will usually bring a
monster down so much that it makes quick work of anything non-elite.

Dotting with Curse of Agony is considered mana effective(Dotting solo generally
too), as it allows for more mana regeneration during the fight. As with 
corruption, Curse of Agony is less useful in bigger raids as it will usually
be pushed out of the debuff slots often before it has run its course.

Curse of Agony has recently been boosted, and Improved Curse of Agony is a 
better talent choice than before. Contagion also helps increasing the damage 
further.

Curse of Agony gains 100% of +damage

+------+-------+---------+------+------+

+------+-------+---------+------+------+


+=====================+
| Unstable Affliction |
+=====================+
Unstable Affliction is the 41 point talent in Affliction. A solid DoT by itself
that can be placed on a target already afflicted by Corruption and Curse of 
Agony. The brilliance of Unstable Affliction in PvP, is that it's very nasty
to dispell, because it will backfire and instantly damage the dispeller for
a set amount of damage.

To further top it off, it will also silence the dispeller for a whole 5
seconds. A Warlock with the Felhunter up and Unstable Affliction is a winning
combination, as not only can you use the Felhunter to Spell lock any caster,
but if they attempt to dispell UA, they'll be silenced and heavily damaged.

+------+-------+--------------------------------------+------+------+

+------+-------+--------------------------------------+------+------+


+============+
| Drain Soul |
+============+

Drain Soul is the primary means for a Warlock to get Soul Shards. It is
channeled, and only grants a Soul Shard if the target dies while being 
channeled. It can easily be interrupted, and there's a slight bug if it's used
too close to the target's death(where it seems like you just drain for ages
but nothing happens), but you have to use it to get shards.

Drain Soul can be upgraded by placing two talent points in Improved Drain Soul.
Previously, this was seen as a pointless talent, but with the 2.0 patch it is
a great talent for grinding, as it will now give you back 15% of your maximum
mana if the enemy dies while you are draining it's soul. In addition, it also
reduces threat generated by affliction spells with 10%, so the new talent
is a winner. 

Drain Soul gains 100% of +damage

+------+-------+---------+------+------+
| Rank | Level | Damage  | Cast | Mana |

|  1   |   10  |  55/15s |  15  |   55 |

+------+-------+---------+------+------+
|  4   |   52  | 455/15s |  15  |  290 |
+------+-------+---------+------+------+



+============+
| Drain Life |
+============+

A solid spell that is improved greatly with Soul Siphon, Shadow Mastery
and Fel Concentration. Just like Drain Soul, Drain Life is a channeled spell, 
but this just drains life from the target. It both damages the target and heals
the Warlock for the same amount. It is one of the essential skills of a full 
Affliction build, with all the talents invested it does a great deal of damage
and heals you nicely, and is alot harder to interrupt. 

Drain Life gains 50% of +damage

+------+-------+---------+------+------+

+------+-------+---------+------+------+



+============+
| Drain Mana |
+============+

A very useful spell that can help alot in instances against bosses who uses 
Mana to either attack or heal. Not all bosses needs Mana to perform these 
things, but for those who do, this is one of the best ways to contribute to the
raid. Very often the Warlocks will along with Hunters and Priests be ordered to
drain the mana of a boss. 

One thing to think about, is that the mana cost is actually quite high, so you
need to at least drain for 3 seconds in order to gain mana. Very often though,
Drain Mana is used more to empty the target's Mana instead of filling your own.

Drain Mana does not gain % of +damage.

+------+-------+---------+------+------+
| Rank | Level |  Drain  | Cast | Mana |
+===============================+======+
|  1   |   24  |   42*5  |  5   |  95  |

+------+-------+---------+------+------+
|  4   |   54  |  136*5  |  5   |  310 |
+------+-------+---------+------+------+



+=============+
| Siphon Life |
+=============+

Siphon Life is the 21 point talent in Affliction. It works like a Curse, it is
instant cast and heals you for a set amount of health every 3rd second for 30
seconds. The amount it heals doesn't look very impressive, but you can put it
up on several targets at once, and you can in addition use Drain Life, which
will give you a huge life regeneration.

Siphon Life gains 50% of +damage.
