Nelth (starts with 12 souls and 5 stacks of wrath in all bosses, for the first once you get down the waterfall, kill fish to keep stacks of wrath and free souls).
VoW: lots of aoe and weak mobs that inflates your dps but are actually tough on +13, movement from boss is a non issue to afflic there.
Arcway: same as VoW, but afflic scales better with the "demon" (if you know what i'm saying)
Court: same as VoW, and better use of buffs there.
Now to the gameplay: affixes like volcanic can make destro unplayable (at least for me, can't stand canceling a 3sec cast everytime) and bolster makes you best m+ build as destro very unreliable (FnB build)
Afflic has amazing self heal and surv, less movement headache and you can take advantage of some fight mecanics (totems in nelth 2nd boss gives wrath once he's "found", corruption them and get free 20% boost from reap)
Destro on the other hand is very consistent on Halls of Valor and DHT since packs are usually 3 mobs of medium health.
DRH: afflic can get very high numbers on the stair part of the instance for more overall dmg and is much better for last boss.
TL;DR: I really like afflic for high m+ rather than destro and I showed you why, but if it's better or not I can't say, I geared towards afflic and improved/played a lot on it to compare to my destro spec nowdays.
