In My opinion:
Demo lock = MOP
Destro lock = MOP
Affliction = WOD/legion
Personally i had a blast in MoP as destruction and WOTLK affliction, never been into demo.

Cata is the correct answer.

In a non OP because broken situation, Wrath, for all specs.
In an OPAF broken situation MOP for Demo, Cata for Destro, legion for Aff.

Demo- MoP, it was my main, and now i wont touch that ugly pet based spec with a 10ft pole.
Destro- probably MoP/WoD
Aff- WoD maybe mop. I didnt play much aff back then.
Same. Demo is dead to me
There can only be one; Legion, naturally!
not dragonflight with all the fake buffs resulting in nerfs!.

Honestly MOP and Legion (after nighthold midpatch) were both excellent times to play demo or affliction. It’s sad that one spec overshadowed the other so most players don’t know about MOP aff or Legion demo
Affliction was garbage in WOD , destro was the best spec.
Afflic was god level pvp in wod. Snapshotting dots just absolutely crushed arenas. Kjc in mop was absolutely insane for arena as well. First and only time as a bad casual that i hit 2200.
I actually really enjoyed Affliction in Legion. But maybe it’s because in PVP I could just Drain Soul people and virtually be unkillable whilst killing them.
But you have to respect how strong Affliction was during SoO.
MoP/WoD were both really good for Demo and Destro too. Probably peaked somewhere between that period. Disregarding the final patch in WoD where Demo was intentionally gutted. Blizzard lubing us up for DH is pretty much what occurred.
You just described melee in DF.
Story wise, Legion. I say that because I stopped playing during Cataclysm. I came back for DF and have been having a good time doing the story content for Warlocks in another demon-dominated expansion like Burning Crusade which is when I started playing so it has some nostalgia. The legendary weapon appearances and mount quest lines are awesome. Only thing I didn’t like was having to camp Lord Hel’nurath for the Acursed Wrathsteed because he’s so damned rare.
I mean, I am cruising around with a disembodied draenei head with an attitude. No other expansion gave us that. lol

Aff was amazing in Wotlk, Mop, And Legion
I think I may have lost about 2 - 4 duels out of hundreds on my destruction lock in MoP, so probably MoP. I mean I also specced and played almost specifically for 1v1s, but still, if you had glyph of embertap and healthstone and managed your embers right, you were literally invincible in a 1v1 scenario. I’m really surprised the playerbase didn’t complain about that one super often, maybe not enough warlocks used the glyph?
Also in MoP - I played affliction in 3s or RBGs because of spread pressure and I really enjoyed the playstyle and design of it back then as well it just didn’t have the survivability of destro. No soul rot or trying to pump nearly 8 dots on a target for a 10 second malefic window. No darkglare, an ACTUAL haste damage CD that felt amazing to use. And also destructions crit CD that felt equally amazing to press thats been out of the game for years. I do remember hitting 1m HP on demonology just for trolling but I did not care for it when we had destruction the way it was.
sl/sl burning crusade.
any expansion before melee got 3-4 gap closers and silences.
Destro id say MoP, Cata for every other spec. Tank Demonology , perfectly balanced affliction, cataclysm was a great time for warlock balance.
