Anyone else going Felguard-Destro for Wrath?

I don't plan on Raiding on my warlock anytime soon in Wrath, at least not beyond a casual level, let's get that out of the way first. I'm also not interested in 2v2 or 3v3 arena at all.
I don't care what they do for Meta, I'm just not interested in a panic button on my Warlock, and it has too long of a cooldown to be anything else.
Haunt and Chaos Bolt... Haunt sounds neat but I don't see it being useful in solo or PvP. Affliction relies too much on mobility for casttime-based spells, I rarely even use UA while I'm alone or in PvP. Chaos Bolt... well... meh.
I don't like the current Felguard build because taking it restricts you from taking either Siphon Life or Ruin, and I just kinda feel gimpy, like I'm supporting the pet instead of the pet supporting me.
But in Wrath, that all changes. For one thing, we can talent better stamina/int scaling, pet crit based on our crit, and we get the T5 set bonus from a talent. We can also still take ruin or SL. To me this communicates that the pet will hit harder more often,
I'm looking at a build like this for farming and maybe some 5-man content. *POSSIBLY* some early 10-man raids later on.

Thoughts?
(Yes, I'm aware of the ruin-devastation change that's upcoming, but I see no reason not to take both of them anyway for a build of this sort)

as I said at the bottom, I'm well aware of the ruin change.
I'd rather have 5% more spellcrit than an "oh crap" button. Period. I'll still go 21 deep in Destro. Although which talents I'm taking in Demo is changing with the new change to improved voidwalker to apply to FG's Demonic Frenzy as well (yay, choices in demo before you're deep in the tree!).

The talent calculator is updated now for the ruin change.
I think this would be the ideal high-dmg raid-buffing FG raid build:

Unfortunately it is a point short of being perfect...
2/3 Demonic Empathy
instead of
3/3
.
I think the lost point needs to be from there as you need:
Improved Demonic Tactics
to fuel
Demonic Pact
and also
Demonic Knowledge
to boost
Demonic Pact
.
taking a point from either
Fel Synergy
or
Mana Feed
just to get 2/3 -> 3/3 Demonic Empathy seems like a bad move too.

as it stands at the moment, a meta build is significantly better than a devastation build.
devastation increases your crit chance by 5%
meta increases your dmg by 40%, for 45 seconds out of every 5 mins. Its therefore up 15% of the time.
A 40% dmg increase up 15% of the time equates to a 6% total dmg increase.
6% increased damage is better than 5% increased crit, not to mention meta is controllable. You can time meta to coincide with hero's etc to maximise its effect.
Meta beats devastation hands down for damage capabilities, adding the AC boost etc just makes it a no brainer.
Each to their own, everyone gets to spend their talents how they like, but meta is the "better" talent at this point in beta

Well, *if* meta stays as-is, Ill take it over devastation.
I have zero faith that this will happen.
