I've got to admit that Demonology is something I have shied away from. Mostly, because it seemed more PvP-oriented (until the recent changes which make it far happier in raiding) and awfully complex/confusing. Neither Affliction nor Destruction, but some interesting melding of both. And well... you know how so many non-Locks/non-Hunters feel about pets in a raid. (Even though we Locks
still
use pets in the other two lines)
Still... Metamorphosis is an awfully fun talent to have. ;-)

personally i find decimation (and molten core) to be the defining talent for demo these days rather than meta. meta's ok but it's just a trinket really.

Decimation is definitely interesting to me. Especially, not needing to burn a soul shard for each Soul Fire. (In addition to the cast-time reduction)
I'm curious: is Demonology your preferred spec for raiding?
I see what you mean about Meta. But it is a boost in spellpower, and reduction in damage, just the same, right? (And only one point, atop Demonic Pact and others)
Do you ever see the need to use Meta as a means of handling an emergency, like a wayward mob going after the Healer, the Tank going down, or a whole mess of adds at an inopportune moment? (Can a Warlock effectively temp-Tank to get things under control, using Meta? Much like a Druid, shifting into Bear form?)

demo is my current main raid spec, yes.
it's not a boost to SP per sé, it's a flat 20% damage modifier (this is important in interaction with demonic pact).
it's not great in emergencies. it gives 600% armour but 600% of not much is still not much. not enough to provide any reasonable protection in a raid environment. it also reduces the chance to be crit but it'll be the normal hits that kill you anyway ^^
meta is basically all about 20% extra damage and the ability to use immolation aura (which is imba).
