Hi, with Affliction is spell damage the 1 thing I should just focus on? Also I just recently purchased a 5 button mouse, its garbage but I needed something for my laptop, anyways, what would you recommend to put on each of those buttons. Thanks for your help.

Socket Spell Hit untill hit capped. Don't foget to socket stamina/resilience too.
About your binds: everyone has somewhat unique way of binding spells, but obviously you should bind important macros and spells to keys that are easy to use.

Spell damage is definitely your main concern, but survival stats are almost as important, especially if you're UA rather than SL/SL. Resil is boss and doesn't cap til 492 so you can get all the way up there. Warlock is a class with about 0 escapes from most melee classes and has little armor due to cloth, so we need some hardiness in our gear somewhere. If you're satisfied with your survivability then spell hit is the only other damage stat you need to worry about (as stated by Krispies). Cap is 3% on most closses, 7% on rogues/balance druids.
