Warlock rotations (Contains all 3 specs)

[Bluejays]

Just thought I'd put all of the warlock cataclysm rotations that I think are best into one thread.

Destruction

Demon Soul
Soul Burn
Soul Fire (Cast if the improved Soul Fire buff isn't up)
Immolate
Conflagrate
Bane of Doom
Corruption
Chaos Bolt
Soul Fire (If you have Empowered Imp or the Soul Burn buff)
Incinerate

Affliction

Demon Soul
Haunt
Soul Burn
Soul Fire (Try keep Improved Soul Fire up as much as you can)
Corruption
Unstable Affliction
Bane of Agony
Shadow Bolt (If Shadow Embrace is not fully stacked on your target)
Drain Soul (If your target is below 25% HP)
Shadow Bolt

Demonology

Metamorphosis
Demon Soul
Soul Burn (Try synchronise the use of Soul Burn with Metamorphosis)
Hand of Gul'dan (This needs high priority to prevent immolate falling off)
Soul Fire (The Improved Soul Fire buff needs to be up for as much as possible)
Immolate
Bane of Doom
Corruption
Immolation Aura (Use this when it's most powerful, for example synchronised with trinkets or ideally Demon Soul)
Shadowflame (It may not be feasible to use this, however esspecially if there's more than a single target you can hit with this- it can be worth a lot of damage)
Incinerate (If Molten Core is up)
Soul Fire (If Decimation is up)
Summon Infernal (If there is a part in the fight where you'd benefit from the infernal's damaging aura, use this at that time)
Life Tap (If you still need more mana, then it's better to life tap when you can as opposed to when you need to)
Shadow Bolt

This is just what I use. Hopefully I helped! Thanks for reading and enjoy!

you forgetting Curse of Agony

indestro it better to hard cast a soulfire while tank starts to pull.

affliction is wrong improved soulfire bonus got moved up a tree patch 4.06 and theres no point demon souling before you dots are even ticking it wastes time and dps.

Curse of Elements
Haunt
Corruption
Unstable Affliction
Bane of Doom <--- does more dmg unless multi dotting
Shadow Bolt (If Shadow Embrace is not fully stacked on your target)(also keep shadow embrace up with Haunt or this if can)
Drain Life
Refresh Dots
Drain Life(repeat)
Drain Soul (If your target is below 25% HP)
Refresh Dots
Drain Life repeat

This guide is extremly bad, considering the fact that i've played warlock myself since Vanilla, in endgame raid content.

Not to flame, but this isn't an accurate guide, you don't talk about spell priorities or procs at all and you don't link the specs. These rotations are also heavily outdated, for instance with Destro you want to start with soul fire and always have the soul fire proc up. I have no idea how you can sustain decent DPS with this level of unorganization.
