In TBC, Shadow Mastery requires 30 points in affliction. It's a 25-30 point talent that increase shadow damage by 3% per point, for 3/6/9/12/15%.
Demonic Sacrifice is a 15% shadow increase if you sac your Succy, admittedly you lose the Succy's DPS but it's still a better investment.
Also, Ruin is 30 points in Destro, not 40.
Also, In TBC Improved Shadow Bolt is a 4/8/12/16/20% shadow damage increase for the next 4 non-periodic hits.
So you were wrong, THREE times in a single post, yet talked so sure of yourself then rubbed it in by asking if they even played Warlock.

Warlocks are OK in Vanilla. They can do some pretty nice single target if you have at least 1 spriest maintaining Shadow Weaving. If you're allowed to use Corruption and you have Nightfall spec you can do some nice multi-dot proc farming. They're not amazing though, and later in the game do start to fall behind Warriors, Mages and Rogues. In PvP they're strong.
In TBC they're single target BEASTS. Utterly disgusting single target. In PvP they're EVEN STRONGER.
