I have tried out Hellfire as Destro, just to see how it goes, and when there are lots of adds stacked up close to you, it's bloody brilliant. It's at least on par with the dps of RoF. All I'm dissapointed in is that both the other lock specs are able to move their aoe with the pack, and destro has to recast....

Yeah, you can totally cast SoC while moving...

Point is, you target one of the many things that's being tanked and wherever the tank goes, so do the mobs and so do your seeds. You just carry on spamming.

Yeah, asakawa put it nicely. The seed goes onto a mob, not a place like RoF and Hellfire do. So if the mob moves, so does your AoE.

I think too SoC is the best aoe, sure it has a cast time, but you don't have to keep moving with the mobs like you do with Hellfire.

Madness!
SoC sucks hard (in terms of output) and running around Hellfiring is just too awesome. Remember when we were watching CataBeta and first heard about Demo using Hellfire while moving?

To tell the truth when I left WoW I planned doing it for good, and wasn't looking at anything related to WoW to keep my distance.
I only decided to come back because a guy which I played with told me of the new stuff, so I didn't really saw that on beta :(
But what I mean is, I don't really like going melee to use Hellfire, even more since it STILL damage ourselves, feels like I'm gonna pull aggro at any second. But I do agree its awesome to use it while moving.
edit: for coherence

I'd say learn to relish getting into melee and radiating fiery death. Don't worry about the emo self-harm, it's barely noticeable.
What is still an issue is that it's sometimes just not practical in T11 content. When we were first tackling Magmaw we needed lots of AoE damage to kill the parasites (this was at the start of Cataclysm) so the only way we could get the most out of my damage as Demo was to have a Frost DK go into blood presence and HB the bunch so it was safe for me to get in amongst them.

Not to mention the Cho'gall oozes aren't melee friendly either. That really only leaves Maloriak doesn't it? Or am I forgetting a fight...
Wonder how it will be in T12.

I dunno. Remember when it was put in back in BC? It was the $%^&.

when it was first introduced to the game it was the most OP AoE in the game. In our Karazhan runs we started pulling the two rooms before Moroes in two big pulls and Illhoof was a joke. Moving into Hyjal and Warlock AoE was putting Mages in the corner.
Of course, I'm talking about the current game since that history has absolutely no bearing on how weak it is right now. If they don't want Warlocks to have that much direct AoE damage then that's fin but why not reduce the cooldown on SB:SoC to 15 seconds and balance it up as a DoT spreader instead.
