affliction is by far the most OP imo, maybe it starts a bit slow at first but once you are 30 and get siphon life-glyphed you can basically take on as many mobs as you want and have in range, you drop corruption and curse of agony on everything, then you life tap a bit to get mana back to full almost and drain life to get health almost full, you gonna walk out of fights at almost 100% mana and hp...no downtime...try it, u gonna feel op...I will never agree that demonology is better, I also lvled most tank classes in tank specs, affliction can take more mobs at the same time imo if you play correctly, also make use of that voidwalker shield if you get in trouble...as an added bonus-ELITES are a joke
PS you will also have the feeling of that badass warlock that makes things suffer and die slowly as a bonus hehe

I never actually levelled as Affliction or Destro. Indeed people keeps recommending Affliction. Here's my own experience in Demonology, 60 atm
- I glyphed my corruption to proc Shadow Trance, it helps a bit to activate Decimation for Soul Fire faster cast and free of Soul Shard charge*
- I always do this rotation -> Immolation>Corruption><Curse of Agony>Life Tap>Drain Life.
- When talented, your voidwalker is nigh indestructible, and gives you buff to reduce damage
- If your voidwalker happens to die due to some freak accident, in which case rarely happens, activate Fel Domination and resummon your voidwalker in less than a second. Also useful if you don't want to wait for Void Shield cooldown. Saved me against feral druid ambushes three times, and won me some pvp against Sub Rogue at low level (similar level at the time) in classic content. Lost against Paladin at 60 due to their more superior bubble though.
- Voidwalker tanks better than Felguard, and keeps you alive better too. In fact I only use Void or Imp as I level.
- Immolation crits a lot if you have Imp up.
- Most of the time your DoT doesn't damage people in dungeon much before it runs out. At least I felt that way.
*Free of charge if you manage to cast them before Decimation effect run out
That's my personal experience, others may differ.
What does your talent tree look like at the moment?
