all 3 specs are disgustingly good in pvp right now
i don't know about their play at 110 though
yeah, they've changed things, but that doesn't make them bad

Affliction is actually the strongest and most straight forward. Use dots on target/soul effigy + Spend soul shards on curse+summoning pets.

Demo is based around summoning pets and buffing them.

Destroy is idk, I havent even tested it. I have invasion gear and do decent dps compared to 740+ ilvl people
