Demo is getting nerfed hardcore in the next patch which may make affliction more viable dot-spammer than demo. But at the moment, demo brings more to the table than affliction does.

I recommend learning destro

Human or Gnome are great.
Gobby for Horde.

Stack haste, multi dot, pick a focus.

Hopefully with the upcoming nerf to Shadowbolt Drain Life will be back as a decent filler. I play Harvest Life as my talent but it's not the best one. i just enjoy playing Aff how it used to play... Go stam heavy, you run out of CC fast. Seduce shares a DR with Fear.

The haste bracers on Ally are awesome.
Horde has some 9 stamina cloth boots with crit http://www.wowhead.com/item=62895/slippers-of-unturned-loyalties... Red Riding Gloves... Probably nothing worth the faction change. http://www.wowhead.com/item=23399/fallen-apprentices-robe scales to 13 /13. You could get Ring of Pardons and the ally equivalent though, they both scale pretty high. But DPR might be a better choice for the 2nd slot.

Vet is a must for aff lock.

It's like a higher damage dealing Mage with less CC.

Alliance or Horde?

Affliction is easily the worst spec - demo should still be superior after the nerf, as well as destro. I suggest trying the other specs.

Even though I used to love Aff in the cata days, its hard to sit there an play it when Demo Leap is available to you. With either spec you probably wont be wrecking the charts, meters, or stacking a ton of KBs.

Honestly I'd recommend Ele Sham over any kind of lock. Incredibly fun and more playable IMO.
