After four expansions of being one of the most demanding (High skill requirements) and unrewarding (Incredibly fickle/must-not-fault rotations to do mainly average dps compared to our two-button arcane mage friends being the current #2 best DPS in the game, for example), I say bring on all the warlock changes; in the words of SC's Jim Raynor, "Hell it's about time!"
I didnt even have to see what theyd look like to know I was gonna pick that talent.....but.....oh mah gawsh..
Here is a breakdown of the improved abilities granted by Grimoire of Supremacy:
Fel Imp
Bloodpact - Stamina +10%
Cauterize Master - 30sec CD - Small amount of Initial damage, then heals master for 12% over 12 sec.
Felbolt - 1.52sec cast - 14785 fire dmg generates 16 fury
Flee - Breaks stuns and snares (on imp) and returns to master.
Sear Magic - Dispels 1 harmful effects from up to 5 friendly targets within 15 yards.
Void Lord
Disarm - 1min CD
Shadow Bulwark - Grants Voidlord 30% of max health for 20 sec. Autocast - Autocasts when dropped below 20% hp.
Suffering - Taunt
Threatening Presence - Increased threat generation, only applies to Voidlord does not apply to lock. Having the demon hunting glyph makes no difference it only applies to the pet.
Torment - Threat gen + 6973 dmg generates 20 demonic fury.
Void Reflexes - +10% Dodge/Parry
Void shield - 10 sec CD - Encases Voidlord in shadow energy which reduces damage taken by 60%, each time the VL is attack the shield releases 14,279 dmg and reduces the power of the void shield by 20%.

Fellash - 30 yard range 25 sec CD - Deals 11,315 dmg and knocks back enemies in range by 5 yards.
Lesser Invis - Same as it's always been.

Wrathguard
Axe Toss (he uses swords) - 30 sec CD - 4 sec stun.
Mortal Cleave - Hits for weapon dmg divided amongst all targets within 6 yards. Reduces healing received by 25% for 5 sec generates 24 demonic fury.

Other minor tip, you cannot abandon/rename the Supremacy version of pets at the moment, incase anyone cared.
Yep. And us here will be sporting all the goodies we've got since everyone else jumped ship after BC
I already have a macro to swap in my Dragonwrath and mount me up, then another click to swap out to (whatever weapon I'll be using after I replace DTR), and I think I'll use a Wrath title ...
I am the one who knocks ... because I need your permission to enter.
