So is the change in Imp. Corr. to +20% dmg enough to offset the change in co-efficient with the removal of the 2-sec cast time? Don't get me wrong, I love this change but it seems like we're still going to be forced to drop five points in there to keep around the same dps from this spell.

Still, at least we'll gain three points from Emp. Corr. to spend in Ruin.

From what I understand, Corruption's coefficient was tuned with the expectation that you'll have Improved Corruption if you're casting it at all. So by lowering the cast time, they're not gutting the coefficient. They're matching up the cast time and coefficient properly. It should be doing more damage now.

I don't play a warlock, so someone correct me if I'm wrong. : )

Dots use these coefficients, indipendent from casting time but depending on dot duration:

As you can see, Corruption coefficient is already nerfed...
