I recently rerolled from shadow priest to affliction lock and have been following almost every theorycraft thread there is to max up my potential as fast as possible. However, I still feel rather unconfident about my performance.
On a single target fight, nothing is an issue for me. Keep dots up, Fel Flame while moving, Haunt when dots have 10+ seconds remaining so you can MG for max dps. DS when target is below 20%. During DS try to keep Haunt up all the time and always Soulburn: Soul Swap your dots.
However I have a few questions. When would be the optimal time to use Haunt? At the moment I use one shard at pull for Soulburn: Soul Swap. Then I MG till Corr and UA have less than 50% remaining, refresh them and use my first Haunt. Then MG till Haunt comes off and refresh dots again. If 2 or 3 shards, use Haunt and repeat the cycle.
What I am asking, how many shards do you need to have for using it? I guess when I have 1 shard, I should not cast it? But what else is important? Am I doing everything right, as I described? I feel like I am missing something important.
Also, feel free to comment on what I said / correct me and guide me to the right path.

our best try on Elegon tonight. My dot uptime on the boss was terrible, because I was focusing down adds basically by myself, while the rest of the raid nuked the boss. But do you see anything else I could work with?
Thanks.
