weak damage

They can't cast corruption or hand of guldan in demon form if I understood it right.

That is correct. Corruption and Hand get replaced by other abilities in demon form, but unfortunately, warlocks don't get those abilities at 19 - it is bad design. Demon form is basically just useful for the leap and for slightly more damage on shadowbolt/harvest spam.
Also, fear becomes sleep in demon form - the target stays immobile instead of running around.

Aff loses agony *lv30 something req*, so you can't spam dots like you can now. Drain Soul doubles at under 20% instead of 25%, and each time drain soul ticks, so do your dots (at below 20%)
destro loses rain of fire, gains incinerate ( no longer benefits from immolate ) conflag dazes on immolate targets, and mana regen is fast, and even faster with increased spell haste.
Where'd you get the info for fear being sleep in MoP? I don't see it in WoWHead...

All my info comes from actually playing my warlock on PTR.
Destro lock spells do a ton of damage. Drain Soul does VERY weak damage.

It's really hard to tell how aff will be without actually being in a BG. Dot damage feels relatively worse than on live, but I'm not going to make any conclusions until playing against more than one person.

Harvest sounds like the best choice, though if you can hard cast often then soul leech might be better. My opinion though.
First one sounds good if you have to carry flag as last ditch effort.

Soul Leech is iffy. It won't save you if you're in trouble. As aff, the only spell that it affects at 19 is healing for 20% of drain soul's damage, and drain soul is total garbage. It heals 10% of incinerate damage as destro, but taking resil in to account, that is probably 15-18 health per cast (worthless)
Dark Regeneration is pretty solid, and is nice cuz it gives warlocks a defensive cooldown. However, if you BG with healers, it is meh.
I'm a big fan of soul harvest - it visually looks amazing, and if a bunch of targets are within range, it is easily our best damage per second ability. Not to mention, it heals for a TON. I was keeping myself up against a balance druid with harvest life spam, though that was when base resil was 50% rather than 40%.

Wouldn't doubt It since drain soul was designed as a finisher/executioner.
Sucks to know aff damage sucks though. I was really looking forward to it.

Like I said, will have to see in BG's, but in terms of 1v1 it didn't impress me. I could see tab dotting and then harvest life spamming doing ridiculous damage in BG's as aff.

Are channeled spells still clippable in MoP? (the last tick is added to the new cast)

I am not sure.

Ele shaman damage has impressed me much more. I feel like ele and destro are both better single target damage.
