take suppression if you're 3% or more short. there aren't that many good talents in the first 3 tiers you should have enough points to spare.
either pet will give similar dps un-glyphed. use the felhunter if his raid-wide buff isn't over-written by someone else's (mage/priest). use imp for blood pact with the same caveat. otherwise use whichever pet is most likely to survive a given fight.
...use a doomguard when you'll get the best results.

what you're talking about isn't something that's "fun to do" because you can't "do" it. if there series of events you described happened it would be a _freak_ occurrence. and not one you'd see again in your life time.
you have a 4% proc occur as a SB is in flight.
you have another 4% proc occur after the second SB is cast but before the GCD is up.
you have a 25% proc occur in the next GCD
all of them crit!
i'm not good enough at probability to work this out but i know that the chance of getting 4 crits in a row is pretty slim. add in your ridiculous fantasy and you've got lottery numbers.
i've no idea how this all started but carrying on this charade is just making you look stupid. quit while you're ahead. it's as irrelevant as it is fictional.
edit: i just found it "I've been able to deal over 40,000 damage in less than 2 seconds"
lol. no you haven't mate. you said something ridiculous and you got called out on it. admit it and move on.

What about this fire pvp spec?

lol, ok
your
numbers show how ridiculous this scenario is. you say this could happen once every 11.5 days of gameplay. assuming you do nothing other than raid from the moment you log in to the moment you log out? with 100% corruption uptime and getting constantly attacked all that time?
wrath hasn't been out that long and you can't have been running this spec before wrath's release.
that's just assuming your numbers work.
but...
the point with the GCDs is that, we don't just need all these highly unlikely things to happen in the right order but we also need them to happen in an incredibly small and specific time frame. it's this that you've not taken into account in your "maths" and it's this makes what you're talking about utterly preposterous. it adds a whole dimension to the probability which exponentially increases the numbers we're talking about here.
it's a possibility, sure, and if you said it had happened to you i wouldn't believe you but, since it's a possibility, i'd have to accept that you could be telling the truth... but several times? nope, sorry.
you're lying to a bunch of strangers because you were showing off about your build (which has been discussed and tested lots and found to be lacking in several areas) and trying to make what you do look good. well, your build is far from optimal. and 40k in 2 seconds was a really silly thing to say if you wanted to be taken seriously.

meta, as a talent, is often described as a trinket (by myself and many others on these fora) because it's 20% increase to damage for 30 seconds is very much like a very good 'use' proc from a trinket.
it's a slightly derogatory term because, while it would make a really amazing trinket, it's not great for a 51 point talent.
this is mostly relating to PvE, meta has much more use in a PvP setting beyond the simple 20% increased damage.

I think, this should be the gratest Warlock))

gods! zulfon i hope you're joking. that build is painful to look at.
...leads me to wonder, have you played a warlock at all?
Post by
Zulfon
Yeah)))XD I`d played a warlock))) You right))) I`m joking, but, I was thinking about instant shadow bolt with Nightfall and Backlash talents... What do you think about this? Why this build can`t exist? Think about this words: an INSTANT Shadow bolt! Isn't that great?
Post by
asakawa
no. an instant SB isn't instant at all. it's a 1.5 second cast as far as DPCT is concerned. also, they're rare and can't be counted on and to get backlash procs you need to get hit. getting hit = dying in raiding.
if you want a SB spec then use 31/0/40 but i suggest you don't because it's far from optimal.
Post by
Zulfon
Well, actually, I like to make experiments with class talents)) And I`ve just thought about PvP Warlock talents build, because other builds are standart and I want something unusual))

not exactly revolutionary. the cookie cutter is 56_0_15+5. the "+5" is to allow flexibility for playstyle
a couple of things worth considering though,
-if IDS is worth a point it might be worth 2
-do you actually get enough benefit from ISB for 5 points spent? with your crit rate i'd guess not.
