I switched from deep affliction to
Felguard/Siphon Life spec after hearing some results from fellow locks.
With this build, not only can I take on 5 mobs at once, but I can also take on the elite quest mobs. Caveat being that I have my priest with me, but many other people have managed them solo. I was able to take down the 5-man dragon elite in Dragonblight with just the two characters. I have yet to see an instance since I respecced, so I don't know what sort of dps it throws out in that environment, but I have heard that it does alright.
Once I'm done with levelling/solo questing, I'll probably switch back to deep affliction.
