the use of CoA is a little worrying also.
it's been hinted at above but if you're comparing dummy dps then you're talking apples and oranges. soul fire's are important and dummies don't show that.

yes, more agreement on that point. it is a much more complex spec to play
well
than the other two. it's also much more reliant on reacting to situations and using cooldowns well than simply mastering a "rotation". there's more grey area which leaves more room for error even when it feels like you're basically getting it all right

the problem is one of habit. CoA
was
a very important part of the demo rotation when it procced MC. now, however, it's only there to deal damage and, as fmatt says, its DPET is very poor.

Yeah I'm having the same learning curve as well. I didn't use CoD once on Marrogar or Deathwhisper because my auto-curse has always been CoA (affliction main spec), so that hurt me quite a bit, then of course remembering to use DE and Meta on cooldown was something I am still mastering...
One thing that made a pretty noticable difference that I noticed after my first few attempts at demon was keeping Corruption and Immolation active even through the Decimate phase. I noticed a very large jump in my execute DPS, so there's a tip I hadn't seen mentioned yet (in this thread...I got the tip from another demon thread on here). I've got demon up to 5k now so although that's still a bit short from the 6k I can hit with affliction, it's close enough that I'm a real asset again (when you include the 400-500 spellpower DP brings).
And as was already mentioned, I get to play something I have to think about again and that's really making playing my lock a brand new experience and a lot of fun again.

SS is still better than FS.
1 haste > 1 crit and the difference between the two is actually far from 1:1
