I have to throw in here that I've changed my warlock 4 times since race changes became available. Started as undead in vanilla, went goblin, then orc, then troll (and man I hated be a troll, no offense troll-lovers, just not for me) and finally just said screw it and went back to what made me happy: Forsaken. I was extremely worried about losing dps, as our guild is best defined as "part-time hardcore" or "hardcore casual" and still competitive enough to min/max a bit.
I've read that Touch of the Grave scales with mastery, and I'm running a fairly heavy mastery build....but even if that's not true the difference has not been significant as destruction. Unless you're in a bleeding-edge content guild that's pushing for world / server firsts, seconds, or even thirds the difference at this stage isn't really worth it. Just my .02.
