Y u no like each other polski bros?

OT: more darker...yea, so you basically gear like a shadow, spelldamage, spelldamage and spelldamage. Haste is decent after 1.4k sp.

If you do pvp, rather get close to resilcapped and stay the fuck away from everything that might move. Not sure if spellpenetration works but if it does get at least 80+
Hitcap can be achieved with talents and you gonna miss half of the shit you cast either way (fix pl0z)

Oh and use timbal trink...

My usual Affliction build. You want a lot of resilience and a lot of spell damage, using 3 pieces of dreadweave and 2 pieces of felweave is an easy way to gain resil without much loss of other stats. Don't bother with spell crit at all, haste is okay as faster drains and faster global cooldowns are always helpful. I usually gem every yellow slot with resil and run 420+, which some consider low. Remember you have several curses and they can all be very useful, don't just throw agony on everything.

5/5 suppression is totally overdoing it imo, given the fucked hit it wont change a think either way and dark pact is pretty much a must, though to be fair I am not sure if its working.

Yeah I meant to change that and linked the wrong calculator, was 3/5. And Dark Pact is meh to me.

If you ask me, you went wrong right in the beginning when you choose to play Forsaken. Imo Orc has the best racial abilities when it comes to warlock, or pretty much any class when playing on the Horde side.
Every class, exept shamans, can stun, while theres only three classes that use fear/charm/sleep based abilities. And lets face it, rogues are your greatest enemies. Resisting Cheap or Kidney Shot will have huge impact on the outcome of the fight.
And if you decide to combine the 15% stun resistance from Hardiness with Imbued Unstable Diamond Meta gem, you will have 20% chance to resist stuns.
Blood Fury is also a great ability, and when used right it will greatly benefit you and cause panic at the opposing side. If you combine it with Hex Shrunken Head there wont be stopping you.

Here are my suggestion for specs to use
43/7/11
42/19/0

You might ask "why Malediction?", but the answer is pretty simple. Go cast CoE at a target dummy and drain life. Plus, as I play 43/7/11 it also increases damage delt by Shadowbolt, Shadowburn, (actually it increases all shadow/fire/frost/arcane damage delt to the target, so its useful in battlegrounds too!) AND Timbals Focusing Crystal, which for me usually hits something around 1k. I wont even mention the crits it does... And it someone decides to dispel UA when CoE is up... Oh boy... Critted over 6k at best! And on a pvp geared Disc Priest..

I also created a sample character for you, go spy on it here.
Note that its 43/7/11.

Don't be hating on Forsaken, sir. A guaranteed break and immunity to a CC is far more useful than a 15 (even 20) percent chance to resist a single CC. Also, resisting a kidney in arena may keep you alive longer, but breaking fear will keep your team in the game for a long time. I've won plenty arenas due to trinketing blind and having Will of the Forsaken for psychic scream or fear. Resisting a stun has really only helped in 1v1 situations. Also Blood Fury comes at a price, if we're talking Destro it's fine, if we're talking SL it's still okay because they have some tankiness, but Affliction depends on it's hard drains to stay alive, applying a mortal strike to yourself can completely screw you so you have to time that Blood Fury very carefully, and only use it in situations where you won't be taking much damage (locks tend to be focused a LOT, all the time, everywhere).

Also, I'm aware this thread is dead, but I'm lifeless and bored and I like a good debate over WoW. <3

If you don't get stunned, the benefit is pretty much the same and stuns are probably even more common than fear thanks to the amount of rogues and even warriors/druids.

So its more about rng and dmg trink with a downside and timed fear break, pretty balanced Id say.
