it would have just been balanced differently, in its current state its pretty lackluster for destro and pretty bad for the majority of the fights in hfc.

Ok i have a quick question after reading multiple threads here and looking at some logs of some high rated locks:
I currently have have a 726 fragment, 726 piston, 726 DSI, 715 PoF, 706 DTU and a 700 GSR (yes all wf except GSR and PoF)
Thats the setup how i run HFC:
Assault: GSR/DSI
Reaver: Piston/DSI
Kromrok: Fragment/DSI (Destro, would go Piston as Aff)
Council: Fragment/DSI
Kilrogg: GSR/DSI
Gorefiend: GSR/DSI
Iskar: Fragment/DSI
Socre: GSR/DSI
Tyrant: Piston/DSI
Zakuun: Piston/DSI
Xul: GSR/DSI
Manno: PoF/DSI
Arch: Fragment/DSI
So my question is:
Do I always run with the Fragment as Affl on ST or is my Piston better?
And do I run Piston over Fragment on Council to substain an easier 100% dot uptime? (or even just dmg wise)
And then still Sac over Supre even with less Drain Soul casts? (Supre on Council ofc)
Atm im runing with HC Fragment + MY DSI for affl and MY DSI+ MY WF Gorens for destro...liking both choices altho considering swaping GSR for stage 6 sandmans...how does it fare on destro tailored fights?
yeah thats true and i think that is the reason why a lot of locks dont like to use it or atleast thats why i dont like to use it, but with that said, multidotting on council makes your dps skyrocket but in reality, atleast on progression, you'd prolly be better off just single target dpsing coz each time you reapply dots, you loose drain soul uptime and you'll do less dmg on your main target but it comes down to what you prefer.
It is hardly (if ever) mentioned in these Trinket discussions, but I use ivl 715 Sandman's Pouch over Mythic GSR. It sims higher on my tests and is only slightly behind Heroic DSI.
Just wanted to point that out.

Sandman/DSI sims higher than GSR/DSI
“I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.’ And God granted it.” -- Voltaire
"He who awaits much can expect little" -- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Sandman's is never mentioned because practically it's way behind GSR.
I would never go off sims and use that as your 100% go to. Personally I am 725 item level 9/13 mythic.
Assault Destro DSI/GSR mythic(socketed)
Reaver Affliction DSI/class trinket
Kormrok Affliction DSI/class trinket (I go Cata for hands)
Council Affliction DSI/Class trinket GoSup because of the less downtime on Drain soul
Kilrogg Destro DSI/GSR or class trinket ( I go downstairs also pulling around 210k dps)
Gorefiend Destro DSI/ GSR or class trinket
Iskar Destro DSI/Class trinket
Soc Destro or Affliction DSI/Class trinket or FRP mythic
Fel Lord Affliction DSI/ DUT mythic (haste proc is nice) I'm going to try out class trinket this next reset.
Xhul Destro DSI/class trinket or GSR ( still progressing)
At least an idea what i'm doing for mythic. Normally I'm parsing around 90%, but it also depends on your raid comp and your job in the fights.
That may be true, but a lot of people will not have GSR and may want to get a feel for the Pouch stacks up against other options. Or if Mythic GSR > Sandman's, they may want to know how Sandman's stacks up against the Heroic version.
I personally don't have GSR or UGOS...so I'm usually running Pouch/DSI for Destruction fights.
