I had my mind set on demonology, but I spent time looking over the affliction tree, and it's really damn good, not to say demonology is bad, but I think affliction will fit my play-style better. The build above was my attempt at a affliction-destruction build, can you please comment on it, tell me some things I should change or keep. I'm going to be just soloing basically, I'll do a little bit of PVP on my way to 80, but mostly soloing and doing some instances. This is what I hope to be like at 80, but just tell me some things I could change.

-suppression is not needed for levelling
-fel concentration is
-3/3 in eradication is a waste of at least 1 point, maybe 2
-bane is required
-cataclysm isn't needed for levelling

i'm going to quote myself from another similar thread:
levelling is a very different game to max level.

advice for levelling:
-do what works
-try out specs and see what you enjoy

when max level:
-look at what you're going to be doing at max level and tailor your build to it.

when i levelled from 70-80 i used 21/41/0 from 71 onwards and it was incredibly powerful and fun... for me. if you're enjoying your current build and levelling at a speed you're happy with then don't change it just because some people on fora said meta sucks.

at max level things change. you can basically build for PvE, PvP or try to build for both (the last option being doomed for failure until we get dual specs). PvE and PvP builds are finely tuned to get the maximum benefit from your talent points spent and this is where discussion over the relative worth of talents like metamorphosis come in.
i don't think meta is good enough for PvE, others disagree. we all debate these things but at the end of the day you need to decide if you get the results you want from your build and if you have fun. the build you propose for level 80 isn't optimal but i think your problem is that you're trying to build your levelling spec into and end-game spec. just have fun levelling and decide on how you want to play end-game when you get there.
