Affliction is the red headed step child compared to destruction and demonology. It is really a to each their own thing, you will rarely see warlocks top damage meters, however I prefer Demonology because of the mobility it gives you (that, and all the fun places you can terrain jump too with it). The abilities aren't too bad with the spec, but then again, the same can be said for destruction.
Versatility increases your damage done, healing done and reduces damage taken.
Haste is great for getting those fears off and hardcasts off faster
Crit is just crit, still useful though for a consistent burst.
Multi-strike would be great for Affliction imo

Thanks for the advice! Trying out demonology, it's pretty good damage and the survivability is a plus. Any suggestions for talents?
well you only have two real viable ones (speaking from the 29 bracket) I prefer Harvest Life, however Dark Regeneration is not something to put your nose up too. Popping Dark Regen at the beginning of a train will provide give you more hp (depending on scenario) than hard casting Harvest Life, granted, if there are people who can interrupt your cast, you'll be shadow locked and THAT ISN'T GOOD.

Without having done any testing, I'd say versatility is great all around, for aff I'd prob stack haste and for destro I rlly want to try a crit build. I'm not the one to ask about demo tho
If you do any testing pls post result

Demonology provides you great mobility, but destruction's damage is superior compared to demonology. Destruction has finishes and can sync cc's, when you are ready to fear the focus in arena , you can also stun your target with succubus and be able to cast Chaos bolt on your target without any interruption , and after that you can fear the priest, immolate, double conflag, target dead, and gg. But the mobility isn't great enough, you wont really be able to Jump ahead and fear the rogue real quick etc. Since the rogue might have 2 escapes, 1 of them is kicking in your fear, then the second is meld your fear---, and by that time you will actually be dead.
So i guess Demonology > Destruction , but not always, this is for different situations. If you are queuing Destro + DiscPriest, you are super fine. Do not worry about rogues or ferals, just beat the hell out of them real fast.

My 15 tink destro lock - It's pretty legit IMO. I am just missing satchel belt of the sun but meh i'm lazy. still works fine, chaos bolt hits like a truck with crit stack. As you can tell from the name, rogues are not fun
edit: very funny in open-world duels because with the lack of scaling your crit stays really high just absolutely global ppl
