Hello!

I wonder if Shadow Embrace is neccesary for PvP? And in that case I wonder how many points should I put in.

In pvp, you wont cast many haunt or SB, so you'll almost neever get the 3 stack, still, it count as an affliction effect, so it boost your drain via soul siphon. Many warlock just put 1 point in it for this reason

It's not because of soul spihon, it for dispel protection. To reach the maximum effect of soul siphon you only need 3 debuffs. drain life counts as 1, + CoE and Haunt = max dmg on drain life.

Often 1 point in it for adding a debuff is enough, primarily for the dispell protection by providing an extra debuff on the target.
It will rarely stack to any good number for a length of time, so as a dps increase it is sub-par at best.
With the greater costs coming to dispells, then protection through such trash debuffs will have a much greater benefit.
Sure them hitting unstable affliction has its appeal, but I have found that rarely to be the case.

May I also ask what glyphs are the best for Affliction PvP?

[sugarfree]

Just secure glyph of soul link and shadowflame. The last one is your choice. Some glyph it for Quick Decay, some just glyph it for others.
