Ok so i have been messing around with some different spec ideas and ive found that this one is pretty good. Its spread out a bit but i think it should work pretty well.

Ok so the 5 points in imp corruption gives you another instant dot and the imp lifetap is for when yoiu seriously start depleting your mana, a must for me since you use a lot with this build. The demo talents give you more health and damage for your imp, the health also helps when you run low on mana. Destro talents was the tricky part and theres a couple variations you could go. I favor the imp shadow bolt over cataclysm because 5% less mana isnt that much, and i took aftermath over bane because the daze is really helpful and procs occasionally. Devastation is a must along with ruin and shadowburn for the extra kick in your spells and the last hit in for the kill. Searing pain is also a great spell to spam with in this build youl fing that with the extra 10 crit on it you'll crit 2 to 3 out of 5 times and for well over 1k a piece. Take intensity for better spell interrupt resist. Nether prot i just got into because it procs a lot and it saves you from some deadly spells. Backlash is also a must because it procs often and its great to be running backward and fire off a shadowbolt at the same time. improved immolate helps you get conflagerate which gives you added dps and emberstorm also boosts your fire damage overall giving you some extra kick. put five more into shadow and flame and you get shadowfury which is awesome in a pinch and is even better when it crits and stuns them all enough for a fear! by this time you should have 1 more point which i put into soul leech for some extra healing, with three in there it procs alot, especially when you spam searing pain. the only thing i see wrong with it is you lose out on some range with your destro spells and you lose out on bane which gives you some faster spellcasting. So let me know what you think! and criticise like hell!!! :)
Don't go destruction in pvp. Its just a waste of time, to squishy and you'll never be able to do the dmg u need to good players....

lol r u crazy?
destruction spec is pure pvp
as for ur squishy problem dat involves ur armor and enchants
other wise u would had 2 be retarded n order not 2 be
good pvp'r with destruction spec everything else is either slow or not enough damg when u hit lvl70 man
<<<<lvl 70 full epic orc-warlock
ranking=warlord
honorably kills=37,892
spec=20\0\41
i builded the affliction so my d.o.t. spells would
be nerfed and i get som exstra instant cast effect with it
as 4 destruction u get healing effects immune'n effects stunning effects and instant damg and boosted uber crits
from hell i 1hit everytime with my soul fire i crit for 12k-16k
my spell damg is uber tho so...u get the picture
destructio is all the way 4pvp other wise affliction=takes 2 long when ur lvl70 and by then all the classes hav a de-spell effect or reflect buff or somthin so that will be useless 4 pvp
or demonoligy= gives u mad hp and less mana and ur demon becomes ur main weapon which u will be depended apon so thats just gay
if u want pure damg and not constantly hav 2 depend on fear spell or demons and dots go 2 destruction instant hi crit damg makes u stronger then mage and sence ur a lock ur hp should naturauly be higher and FYI when ever u crit with destruction spec u get 30% healed from damg so my shadow bolts do 4-5k crits ill be goin crazy with self heals
so in plain words....DESTRUCTION SPEC PWNS 4"PVP" if u want 2 be an instance lock then demonoligy or solo lock aff. or destruction

also destro is great for pve
...And you just crit the English language for 865675K. Go kill yourself, kid.
I think a lot of people are tricked into the flash of destruction. But I think having more mana to be able to keep an enemy in a state of fear and covered with dots is more beneficial in pvp. I plan on making a spec that's relying on demonology as a secondary in order to give my armor a boost and perhaps get another treat or two, still having crunched the numbers. I plan on having a 70 affliction lock and I don't think I'll be missing the felguard at all.
bottom line
Aff - awsome wit questing n great wit pvp, unknown in raid
Demo - nice wit questing n ok in pvp, BAD in raid
Destro - BAD wit questing, PWNAGE in pvp, PWNAGE in raid
Darkhatred 70 warlock, exodar
im sorry but demonology is awesome in pvp..
dont get me wrong destruction is really good to but its really really boring to play with, and theres nothing more fun then watching a mage get owned by ur felguard.
This is just my opinion tho, you can have ur own
Destruction is too easily locked down. Just think; you're standing there with your shadow tree open all day, not expecting a lock-down of any sort?
Affliction/Demo, on the other hand, either can't be locked down for too long, or can't be locked down at all.
im a 49 lock on BH and im afflic i like alot i can solo a lot of quests that are in the orange because i dont use much mana which i can use for other things but at 70 i plan to go destro for BG and arena because us locks do crazy fuckin damage
LMFAO!
Unkillable..... Maybe
Spent the entire BG running around placing and renewing siphon life all the while killing no one and contributing nothing to the team....... Yes.
I've gotta say that I really loves the destro spec for pvp since I love to see my instant cast incinerate down the warriors with 3.5k crits. I'm not good geared as destro since the only specs that works in arena is 5/43/13 27/34/0 and 24/37/0. The last two should be sl/sl both of them and I use the last mentioned for the bonus less crit for other players bonus. Sl/sl can get boring but it's the only spec that will work in arena rating of more than 1600 unless your name is drakedog and one of the best players in the world
How about Soul link/Ruin?
For 5v5?

this is what my talent build is. i think the siphon life is pretty helpful plus who doesnt love the power of destro wiping down loads of enemys
i just thought id throw this up here. tell me if it helps anybody 8D
Alright i started my lock off as a destro (which i found to not have a problem questing with)till i was lvl 59. Which wasnt bad for pvp, you get tons of damage and can easily take anyone one 1 on 1 (maybe not a hunter). then i switched over to aff. Aff is much better for pvp due to the fact that you can be moving and casting spells when with a destro you have to stay still which makes you very vulnerable. The instant fear is huge.
I never tryed demo out so i dont have any input on that. Choosing
No one talks about SL/SL? That is the superior PvP builds...
I am an affliction lock, but switch to sl/sl for some arena matches, and uh, it makes you as tough to kill as a well geared tank; plus you manage to get increases on all your key dots...
sit back and drain away...
It is very hard for anyone to kill you while draining 400ish hp per second plus 60ish per second from siphon life and you are taking 20% less damage. Especially if they are taking 700 DpS.
oh...while siphoning, one is essentially immune to over 600 DpS.
Alright what is the SL/SL build any ways?
Yeah...... So easy to kill in SL/Sl spec...
Guys, try to do same as destro.. coz i know that it is possoble. I saw destro lock 0-7-54 with 2200+ and did myself 1700 in 2v2.
So my opinion is: try to be cool as destro..SL/SL is lamer spec.. It doesn't need any skill. U just use 3 hotkeys( i u can call 1, 2, 3 buttons hotkey)
if u go affli do u get instant fear?
If you go Affliction you get insta-Howl of Terror, which basically does the same thing as fear.
Except it works on 5 mobs at once, but has a cooldown (and costs less mana, lol)
It doesn't matter if SL/SL's lame, as long it gets the job done, it's good. But it certainly is boring as hell, so if you're not arena-ing, then, it doesn't really matter.
2 pvp specs i like, 20/41/0 and 45/5/11, they are good in arena as well. and they both use dreadweave set, so you dont need different gear to see one or the other meet its full potential.
Listen to the guy above.
Also I hear 7/7/47 is reasonable on BGs. Not as good as SL/SL, but maybe not horrible.
ok i roll pvp lock, if you are goin to be raiding as well i recomend 45/5/11 shadowburn whenever CD is up, just stay stocked on shards, if you are not worried about raiding 20/41/0 is pwns, night fall 2/2 and emp corrupt 3/3 and felguard, of course you will kinda be stuck after you DOT, but you have enough spell dam and stats from demo to spam searing pain, felguard is also good in arena, the most common and boring pvp spec is soul link/ siphon life.
when blizard made the talents for lock they made:
affliction more for pvp or soloing based on your only damage is D.O.T. really which means they can dot 800 guys w/o having to rest
demon was more for soloing mainly bc you cant pull aggro off your fel guard w/ any thing you do and if you do they share they damge you take
destr was made to do intense burst damage (conflag,shadowburn) for the most part their like a mage, only with a pet
so combinding
1) demon and affliction you get sl/sl which is great for surviving and kiteing ability
2) afflict destro you get bl/sl which is low on the survivibility meter but top on the burst damage meter
3) demon destro with the improves succy allows you to rape almost any one class good for 2v2 and raid but really sux vs more than 1 person
