As Demo it isnt a rotation anymore. It's more about priority. You keep CoD, Corruption and Immolate up at all times (except Corruption sub-20% on any boss). You spam shadowbolt. You use Demon form and immolation aura (be sure you're in range for it to hit the mob) every cooldown. Have Demonic Empowerment macro'd to shadowbolt and soulfire. Every time molten core procs (from corruption), spam 3 incinerates. At or below 35%, spam soulfire. Try to make sure demon form is up then too. Demon form + soulfire + molten core is NASTY. Remember once you start soulfire spam, if you're the only warlock in the raid, to launch a shadowbolt every 30 seconds so Shadow Mastery doesn't fall off the target.
Range *generally* doesn't matter for demo like it does afflic. The exception is, when you're sub 40% but above 30%, you wanna make sure you're in close so that last shadowbolt hits at right about 35% (due to minimal travel distance) so you can go right into spamming soulfires. Being at long range and having to wait for it to hit before spamming soulfires can be a minor pain.
Another tip... lots of fights in the game have mobs you need to kill in addition to the boss. If you can get a single incinerate off on one and then launch into soulfire spamming on the boss, do it as much as you can. Whenever you can cast 1.8-2 second soulfires, you should.
A few things though:
-Due to soulfire consuming a shard if it is cast after decimation falls off (even though the cast is fast), on many fights you burn through soul shards at a retarded rate. On LK25 HM, 32 last me about 1/3rd the night.
-Incinerate hits/crits for less per hit than Shadowbolt, but it's faster... 1.2 seconds for me versus 1.8. So you do more damage over the same time period.
- Use Demon form's demon charge for getting in close, but the rest of demon form's ability bsides demon charge and immo aura are pretty worthless. Think fo Demon form as mostly a +20% damage buff every 2.1 minutes.
- Use SoC, never rain of fire. Do not use CoA, even if the boss has less than 60 seconds to live. At that point, spam soulfire.
- Demonic teleport is pretty useful to get back to your spot after demon form / immo aura ends.
- I have 1 point improved demonic tactics. Some warlocks put 2 in there. With the change to how demonic pact worked in 3.3.3, with sufficient buffed crit (I'm at like 47% or something in a raid I think, offhand), it's pointless, and your DPS will be better spent by putting a point or two in Surpression and getting 12% hit through gear rather than 14%. I haven't done this yet because it seems _every_ piece of gear that drops has hit/dmg/haste or spirit/crit/dmg and none of it has spirit/haste/dmg (which is best). If I can get some gear that lets me shed some hit without losing spell damage, this is the change I desperately want to make.
