Where's shadowburn? Why Havoc duration has been nerfed(bye prehavocs) Why backdraft duration has been nerfed? Wheres FnB? I hope it's still here, because if not that new talent won't save the day for destruction.
Shadowburn is a talent, with improved usability. Fire and Brimstone is a talent that passively makes Incinerate AoE. (

Single-Target Base SoulShard generation for Destro looks slow. 2 every 16 sec + low RNG on Immo. Talents for more?
Indeed, there are several talents that deal with Soul Shards. (

What does 'Your Destruction spells deal up to x% additional damage, randomly' mean? how does that work?
Mastery provides a damage bonus to those spells, but it's a random % increase, up to the (very high) Mastery %
The frequency of your attacks will quickly smooth out the RNG element, but it's always possible you might prefer other stats. (

Can you clarify the "limit 1" on Havoc's description? Limit 1 what?
You may only place Havoc on one target at a time. That matters when it's improved via talents. (

is there ANY justifiable reason to keep CB as shadow damage, not as chaos damage?
We'd actually be interested in hearing discussion on this, after clearing up a common misconception: (
WarcraftDevs)
Chaos damage does NOT inherently bypass shields/immunity. Interrupting it would lock ALL schools. Still want that? (

I noticed Rain of Fire isn't listed as an ability in the Destruction preview. Will it still exist in Legion?
RoF and FnB overlapped too much in Warlords, which is why we hotfixed RoF out of the picture until we could revise. (
WarcraftDevs)
In Legion, RoF is the primary AoE, and FnB is a talent (which doesn't obsolete RoF). (

is Charred Remains gone for Destruction warlocks? Please let it be gone!! And is there any hope for fel flame?
Definitely gone. It turned out very un-fun. Many Warlock talents are changing, and we're looking forward to feedback on them! (

So will aff/destro locks have any form of burst cooldowns other than summon Doomguard/Infernal since dark soul is gone?
There are a few talents that improve burst, and the Doomguard/Infernal are being buffed to deal significantly more damage. (
