So what? Did you have to kill Sephuz to get his ring? Or do a quest for Wilfred to get his? The names are just the natural progression of this class fantasy crap. They've realized that developing content for a class/spec is a waste of time, so now they try to achieve it without actually developing class-specific content. Make a ring that drops like every other legendary but name it so everyone things it is tailored to them...
I had to face the same decission and I decided to pick destro, here is why:
-) Destructions has been a good choice for this tier (top guilds like Method have been using it during their world first race)
-) The thing that made destruction good this tier is it´s kit (good dmg on priority targets, flexible talents for st/aoe) and it´s unlikely that it will be changed in the wrong way
-) A lot of min/maxing can be done with the rotation and your cooldowns
-) One of the bigger issues with the spec has been adressed (mastery changes made it less rng)
-) Destruction is geting some good buffs (while affli gets nerfed) and the ring is huge (depending on the talent you are using, you will either get 10% overall or 12% st dmg buff from the talent alone)
Reasons that are against Destro:
-) Affliction will probably stay (maybe not, I have no idea rly but since I am fine with it I am accepting the worst case scenario for now) on top in terms of pure DPS, but due to it´s high ramp up I don´t see it being as valuable
-) If all you want is being nr. 1 in dps affliction can help you with it´s stupid padding potential
-) That Scythe is just too cool...
In the end for me the decission was between looking good for unknowing people or being a valuable asset for my guild and I decided for the latter.
Yeah at this point I'd say just get your specs up to the first Concordance then you'll be prepared for whatever comes your way regarding balances. I love the changes to Destro so far. I want Sac back. But I doubt that's going to happen. I hate demo so i've just written that off altogether. Don't care how good it ends up being. Unless the gameplay changes, it's a no go for me; it's the most unfun spec in the entire history of locks specs in WOW. Makes me want to throw up.
But with destro and aff invested, that pretty much covers all the mechanics one could want. Demo might be ST king; but, meh. I'll settle for second tier ST dmg and fun over that POS spec. No offence to those who love demo of course
Dito. "Fishing" for Demo legendaries atm, got Aff/Destro both at 52, Demo at 50,5.
I'm getting a legendary every 5-7 days right now by doing max. legendary worthy content. (w/o any m+>1 besides one for a big weekly chest)
Only 6 legos left across all 3 specs.

Affli & Destro at 52. Demo missing 300M AP for it.
All but 1 legendary (excluding the crafted crap) - the demo head.
This means: Around end of this week, I will be basically "Ready for Tomb Raiding - Warlock edition"
It's not that much about beeing lucky. If you do all the stuff each week which has a weekly lockout your are fine and good to go to get legendarys frequently.
However if people (not saying you but a lot of my friends do it) jump around characters or only do half the stuff each week there is no reaseon to whine about not getting legendarys.
Yep, nothing to do with luck. Once they removed the stupid caps that they thought noone would find out about (since 7.2), it's rather easy to get one leggy per ID if not more simply by doing all of the relevant content:
- Daily Emissary
- All Nighthold difficulties (mythic as far as you can)
- Nightmare Normal/Hero, Mythic if you dare to do it in a PuG. I've never been successful with that unfortunately, but got a couple of boss kills anyways
- ToV Normal/Hero
- Broken Isles contributions with a bit of Rare/Treasure farming in between. Potentially also the Netherdisruptor Bosses.
- Do as many WQs as you can to get rep chests
It's a lot of work every week, so I generally don't like when people say "Ohhh, you're so lucky because you have so many leggies".
Ok that really sounds like a lot of work.
All I do is:
-All LFR's
-NCH/HC/Mythic Nighthold 10/10
-All daily Chests
-50 Nether Disruptor bosses if up, every day
-Daily HC every day
-All M+0's
This leads to a legendary every 5-9 days.
Well, to be honest that's just going too crazy - all LFR and all M+0, disruptors - fuck that really and normal raids too, tbh.
But even without those legendaries pop up quite often compared to how it used to be.
I've had two from the Broken Shore handin chests alone.
How often would you expect to see a legendary if you did this each week?
Daily emissary
hand in one broken shore chest a day for 100 tokens
normal NH
heroic NH
a few mythic +0 dungeons
a keystone dungeon for weekly chest
seems ages between legendaries ... doesn't help I can't pick a main and bounce between characters!
Battletag: Chris#23952 (EU)
Warlock
I'm currently in semi-hardcore legendary farming mode because I have 3 more to pick up before ToS.
I do:
5/10 M NH, 10/10 H NH, 10/10 N NH, 10/10 LFR NH
7/7 H EN, when possible 7/7 N EN with some M EN bosses here and there
3/3 H ToV, 3/3 LFR ToV
All daily emissary caches
One or two Broken Shore caches a day
World bosses weekly
Usually between 5 and 10 M+0s a week
All invasions if they're active when I'm on for the Nethershards
I have found a legendary like clockwork every 8-10 days since I started doing this.
