I do not like any of the “unprunning” spells added in SL Alpha. The cast times of these spells, the little to no damage they do and the little impact they will actually have on my class make most of these irrelevant. Many of the alpha posters echo this sentiment.
Blizzard is probably making the warlock class worse with these changes.
Blizzard would achieve what they want alot easier if they gave warlocks metamorphosis back and maybe gave corruption to all classes but added a slow to corruption to make it worth using.

Remember, everything will do little damage. We’re going from level 120 to 60
Yea but its just adding clunk to my rotation that is not fun. What is the purpose of these skills? They do not add shards. They do not slow enemies. They just add more delay to the rotation that we use.
They gave back curses and for some reason chose to give back corruption instead of ‘curse’ of agony. I feel if they game agony baseline instead, making it only stack to 5 for non-affliction then that would give curses at least a thematic use. You have a curse for more damage, a curse to increase cast time, a curse to reduce attack power.
Also Doom needs to be completely reworked. There is no way it will ever proc a doom guard, and the fact they made a talent dedicated to the spell means makes even less sense.
