After playing some on the PTR i decided locks aren't getting helped that much. Metamorphasis looks good on paper but with the huge buffs to burst damage to all classes, locks are still lagging behind even with the 40% extra damage. Granted it's the PTR so things are a little unbalaced, and Immolation Aura is bugged and takes all your mana so you cant even use it.
Afflic isnt looking much better. Demo seems alot stronger for PvP than afflic. Haunt is only healing for 150, and the DoTs just dont kill fast enough. Your opponent might die but after your already released to a GY. I beat a lot of rogues i faced as demo, as long as Metamorphasis was off cool down, which with a 5 minute cd its only an emergency button. I think if they would give Meta a two minute cd we'd be a little more even. I haven't tried an sl/sl build, but i dont really think it would help alot.
Granted this is just the test realm. Pallys are killing everything in sight without getting hurt much, things have to change or the game will turn into Pallycraft. And meta's full damage can't be known untill they fix Immolation Aura, the loss of 450 dps before +damage gear and the 40% increase is pretty big. Its a little dissapointing to see the instant howl of terror be replaced by an AoE taunt, but i kinda seen that coming. And Demonic Leap is now Demonic Charge (charges and stuns an enemy for three secs), which takes away a chance of an escape.
All in all I think I'm gonna continue leveling my druid and wait for the Death Knight. Things don't look good for PvP locks. With Master of Ghouls which gives unholy DK's a permenant ghoul pet, if you want a pvp lock, roll an unholy DK.
