For the record, 13% hit from gear is way over the top with the right spec (you *do* get full Suppression, right?).

No it isn't since at least 40% of your damage still comes from your SB's.

40% ? Wow, that's quite a lot, didn't know

The questions and can usually be answered either by playing the game very extensively in a raiding environment, reading up in our class threads or studying for a few hours in relevant threads on Elitist Jerks.
Though reading up on EJ's is probably better since our Warlock thread's a bit wordy.

Don't help apps cheat though by answering the questions for 'em!

Unfortuneately it won't. The problem is, the coefficient on Incinerate is only .714 while the coefficient on Shadowbolt is .857. After you reach +700 damage (or somewhere around there, can't remember the exact number), the additional damage that Immolate adds to Incinerate is overriden by Shadowbolt. It's not too hard now to get +1000 all damage. And from what we've seen in the PTR, once you get SSC/TE gear, you'll be running +1200 damage all which is roughly what people are running with specific school now wearing FSW or SF.

In essence, Immolate-Incinerate-Conflagrate (or just Immolate-Incinerate) is a toy build unfortuneately. I, like I'm sure many other Warlocks, had hoped that it would provide a nice option to spamming Shadow spells, but it hasn't...

unfortunately true.

and at the moment on bosses like kael´thas id like to add that crit/dmg/hit in that order with an 0 21 40(with sacrificed succubus) build was very, very convincing damagewise.
