indeed, i think an awful lot of people will see aff on top of that bar chart on the EJ simcraft thread and switch without giving it much thought at all and i would suggest that inscribers will be selling more GoQD than anything else since people will want to try that out for a few specs.
people should note, though, that the current destro specs are getting a buff with this patch with 3/13/55 going from 10156 to 10272. essentially, your current specs are getting better but affliction is getting a much larger bump.
personally, i've been playing with 0/40/31 on the ptr and i really enjoy it ^_^

I will probably try out the new affliction and demo as off-spec just for fun and see how it goes, but as both you said. I reckon destro will perform best due to mechanics.
Though i saw someone post this very interesting spec on EJ:
0/28/43
CoE/CoD > Immolate > Corruption > Conflagrate > Incinerate
Molten Core 30% haste
Backdraft 30% haste
Stack crit like a mad man...?
Though i doubt it would be very good due to its strange nature of pretty much making bloodlust and haste on gear useless.

it's funny how 28/43 always seems to hover around the periphery no matter how the actual talents involve change.
i'm just not so sold on the new MC. it's so proc reliant and now only one spell procs it. without giving up a glyph slot for GoQD i can't see the proc rate being nearly high enough to make it better than the alternatives.

Read in some post over at EJ that the uptime for MC was around 27% or thereabouts

sure but 1 point in DE seems to be better than MC.
of course i'm far from sure about it, testing is on-going and ptr is ptr, but what i said was that i'm not sure it's better than the alternatives. i'm still not. 28/43 has traditionally fallen short of the really nice talents in both trees and i can't see any reason this would change with 3.3.
we'll have to wait and see.

im curious though,wouldn't be better if you added GoIm since MC gives 9 more secs to that spell? with the +10% dmg, CF would have a huge burst dmg

ah, you edited in an actual comment ^^
conflag TT on the ptr says takes x seconds of immo, it's no longer a percentage. so no.

Not changing specs, but I might just switch Glyph of Immo with Glyph of Quick Decay.
I do have to say I'm tempted to take affliction for pve though. But demo is getting a buff as well, so I'm staying really...

I leveled with affliction and love the spec. If they buff it to the level where it can put out numbers equal to destro on tank-and-spank phases, I will switch without looking back. Sure, it's worse on the bursty bits, but it requires much less healing, has a couple of more instant casts, more utility with felhunter, and can do multi-target dps better.
