    There's a lot of people not answering the actual question here.

    DoT damage for affliction locks is tied strongly to Drain Soul, on the target we are draining each tick of Drain Souls procs an extra tick of each dot for 50% damage. Drain Life does not do this and is a relative DPS loss because of it. Soul Leech is optimal for affliction due to this.

    For demonology the choice is between shadow bolt and drain life as your filler, and if you talent for harvest life it's mostly a wash. You lose a little passive health from Soul Leech, but DPS is comparable between SB vs drain life IF you talent for harvest life.

    For destruction, Ember tap is a DPS loss, compared to you know, casting Chaos Bolt.

    I don't have in mind mythic raiding, btw
    Btw just to inform you since you mentioned it, but harvest life/ glyph of DL isn't picked in pvp either

    Unless you want to drain tank in a duel vs someone who has literally no clue what interrupting means, since at best even if u juke properly you will barely have enough uptime to justify the intent of the talent/ glyph ( aka self healing), that is why most Dark Regen is the talent of choice for pvp.

    But I can feel you enjoy the whole drain life theme in general, if I were you I would simply wait until legion when drain life is the basic filler ( no talents factored) for affliction and your dream will come true
