So all lock specs are very strong dps, miles ahead of hunters and mages. But affliction being so overpowered makes destro and demo look weak (demo sucks gameplaywise but numbers are fine).
Having the feel of no choice is purely because of affli dominating everything once there is a 2nd target while still veing strong on pure single target.
