Questions about a PvP build

So i've been messing around with the talent calculator and I was thinking about potential PvP specs, I really don't know what to think of it since I've been using cookie cutter builds and find they work just fine. Anyways I was wondering what you guys think of this build(if it has potential at all or if I should just scrap the idea completely)

I have no idea what I was thinking :p

well that's why i didn't go full demo, I was trying to go for the felguard's kick ass damage but still get some reliability of having different options from affliction and not just rely on metamorph to fight all the battles .

I tried using a build similar to that in arenas (3s) for a while, and it didn't perform all that well
the only situation that it worked well in was if the other team focused on me - then my self heals + our healer was generally able to keep me up while the third teammate tried to burn down the other team - the issue was that i had so little burst in that spec that i wasn't able to contribute at all - we only won about a third of our games
the last couple weeks, i've been bouncing between a deep affliction and deep destruction spec, and we've been winning about 2/3 of our games
unfortunately, with how burst focused pvp currently is, demo just can't cut it (might change in the next patch, but that's pretty much how it is now)

If its burst your after then try playing with some destruction points instead of affliction where most of your damage is dots and drains.
Maybe start out with a simple FG/Ember raiding build and fiddle with a few points to make it more survivable.
I don't play destruction so i wouldn't know whether it's do-able but its worth a try if you really do want your felguard.

i havent done arena with it but i normally do very well in bgs with my fg/sili spec, i might not get the most hks in a bg but i usually top the damage charts and am one of the tops in honor gained.

Arena is a WHOLE different situation. You can't really relate BGs = Arena.
Your damage is likely from DoTs ticking AFTER you're dead. That doesn't exactly help for arena.

well,don't know what all been doing as demo in pvp but I tried it and it works like a charm,the idea is to have the right glyphs,glyph of metamorphosis,soul link and shadowflame,and use the voidwalker for its shield(sacrifice) obviously,had no problem taking out multiple players with this spec,immolation aura dealing tremendous damage,and charging in the middle of a group of enemy players hitting immolation aura+sacrifice from void and hellfire does more aoe damage then I've seen in wow since i play it and for a fair amount of time you take 0 damage thanks to the shield,using cleave and shadowflame up close does a lot as well specially with the 70% movement reduction it applies if u have the glyph,and trust me with the glyph of meta u wouldnt think 6 seconds count that much but it will feel like a lot more :) enjoy pwning melee classes and seeing the confusion when they get charged by a clothie xD
But then your damage sucks when it's on cooldown

Sheoloch.. you're suggesting using a Demon build and NOT using the felguard? your damage pretty much sucks for 2 out of every 2 minutes and 45 seconds.. the instant win button is nice but not worth it for pvp because of the cooldown.
on a side note I wouldnt mind it being a permanent shape shift and just have longer cooldowns on immolation aura.
