Now that we're raiding and i'm not nearly as reliant on channeling my hellfire spell i've changed my spec. The only thing i'll miss from my old spec is the 5 yards range on destuction spells, but in pvp i still have my 35 yards on my 2 instant dots, so hey i'll live!

I've been working towards that same talent build for a while now, however with one minor alteration.

5/5 out on Shadow Mastery and 3/5 on Devastation.

Why? Shadow Mastery rank 4 is bugged and does nothing for drain life & siphon life, whereas ranks 1, 2, 3 and 5 give the appropriate increase in damage.

[Gigashadow]

Also, one point of shadow mastery = +2% extra damage on shadow, while one point of devastation = 0.5% extra damage on destruction.

Only 1/3rd of immolate's damage can even crit anyways.

[Sardaukar]

What pet do you normally have out for solo pvping and for group pvp? Seems like 3 points into improved imp would be worth more than 3 points in devestation.

Like your build Nisstyr.
Allthough myself I would might consider swapping Bane(or some Des. talent you figure is not too important) for Improved Imp, since that 30% on Blood Pact is really sweet.
