Thanks for the talent analysis! Just one thing to point out that I haven't seen yet - Fel Synergy heals our demons for a percentage of damage we *take*, not the damage that we *deal*. I find that makes it considerably less worthwhile in a lot of situations, and I question whether it's worth the points.

Wrong... read the tooltip, it's now damage you deal. Also, I still don't see the big deal about the Felguard for pet tanking. The VW is now a supreme tank, with 10k HP, 13k armor. I got humped by Ruul the Darkener on the PTR and didn't realize my VW was at 1/2 life b4 I responded. Wound up soloing him with no problem and that was without Imp HF. Never pulled aggro off the big blue guy, he was awesome.

Also, the new firestones/spellstones are effectively a 2.% increase to your base damage. That compares nicely with Wizard Oil. So, 2/2 master conjuror is not a waste of points anymore.

If you're going deep Demo and want your pets to survive to do damage for you, I'd suggest Demo Resiliance, though over Imp HF (Health Funnel is a must for grinding though).

I've got a 0/53/8 build for now with Imp SB and +3% to hit with destruction I like a lot. I'll look at the DPS output of the Felhunter (with 6% crit glyph) along with the Int/Spi buff as my DPS pet of choice.

Ta,
