My only question is the relative damage of the Warlock toolkit.

How much boss/important damage you lose/gain if you dot up 1-2-X targets simultaenously?
Even dropping an UA to a not-important add can give you bonus VIP damage if the mob dies and you get your shard back.
Putting Agony on an add that lasts only X seconds? What chance do you have to get a shard from that Agony?
Adding the damage of tick 1+2+3+4+5+6 is greater than drain souling your primary target without factoring in the shards?
Lots of questions.

How is this padding?
That's just being a shitter, any class can do it.

what?

Putting Agony on an add that lasts only X seconds? What chance do you have to get a shard from that Agony?
Pretty good chance.

you gain a very good amount


Don't even forget about wrath of consumption, that alone makes damaging adds always worth it.
