It's "viable" but affliction and destruction outperform it - destruction particularly has stuff that make it perform better in raid encounters.

Maybe I missed it in the guide, but does demonic empowerment only empower current pets at the time of the cast or does it empower any current pets in addition those summoned after the cast, but within the 12 seconds of the effect?
You have demonic empowerment in the prepull so I'm guessing it's the ladder, but I just want to make sure.
People are, for the most part, over reacting when it comes to how Demo performs and where it performs well. There are definitely strengths and weaknesses however to all of the specs, and Demo's have just been blown out of proportion.
Does it have strong burst AoE? No, not really - basically all of Demo's AoE is more sustained/ramp type AoE.
Does it have strong single target? Yes, absolutely. Just as an example on Il'gynoth; there are many adds on this fight that are more important than others to kill, etc like many other fights and Demo can certainly help with that priority type damage but the actual strength of Demo on that particular fight is the 'bursted' damage it provides during the eye phase; you have multiple CDs you can stack + you can enter the phase with full Shards taking out the ramp up time you'd normally have so you can just go right into full damage mode (Just as an example, my really poorly executed Il'gynoth from this week when we did Normal http://i.imgur.com/43hM0Qv.png).
Empowers whatever pets you have out at the time of the cast.
Hey Not,
just a short question, what specc are you maining for Legion? Demo?
The front page mentions how Burning Rush will be absorbed by Soul Leech, but at least on live that doesn't seem to be the case.
Really hope demo is viable, I won't be able to stand another expansion with destro.
Which paths are you going to take with those talents at 20/16/16?
We have 3 Warlocks in the raid, 2 are probably going destro main. I would like to go Demo main, with aff/destro OS, just like you. I was thinking going CoC + LoF + Imp Incineration for destro (16 points). And SF + WoC for affliction (16 points), but I'm not sure what the best Golden traits are for Aff.
It's the same cost, those screens are totally filled in for Destro and Aff vs the Demo one only being filled in for the points there.
I'll be leveling as Demo then swapping to Aff for Dungeon farming and leveling Destro/Demo along the way. Loot spec always set to Demo for legendaries.
Couple minor things that I added/changed today:
- Notices for Burst and Mixed rotations
- Pre-raid Best-in-Slot
- Single Target rotation/spec changes (including expanded opener with 20% Haste)
Coming soonTM:
- Changes to Sustained AoE openers/priority
- Raid Best-in-Slot
- Legendary Ranking
