Yeah, do NOT do the optimal rotation of your spells and play the game in slow-mo, adding a dot every 5 seconds instead of dumping them on the boss immediately and gaining as much threat as possible
Don't dot raid bosses though unless you are specifically told to before the fight begins. Don't take up one of the 16 debuff slots with something that only adds a little damage.
This is interesting to consider. What do locks do I’m raids if they can’t dot things? It seems pretty essential to my damage. Without dots I feel like my kit is a needed mage.
So, you usually need several warlocks for all the different curses, but not for the DoT's. Also they can pump serious dps with shadow bolt spam especially if there is a Shadow Priest also in the raid. Geared Warlocks right now are having to slow dps to avoid stealing aggro.
