Since the start of Cata I've been wondering;
Does Bane of Doom tick 20% harder if you apply it during Metamorphosis, even after Meta has expired, now with the new DoT system?

The way I like to think of it is
Buff yourself > dots > debuff boss > nukes.
oh, i like that!

We actually just talked about this in the FAQ thread :)
Must have missed that. Thanks for the really well explained answer! :D

i'm quite sure (but not speaking with 100% confidence here) that all direct damage is calculated on cast completion and the CB would have the bonus. so, yes, (a)

With the change to improved soulfire, is it still worthwhile to hardcast for the buff as destro?
Yes, it is. The position of it in destro's priority is near the bottom. Its is only better then incinerate. Also, to maintain 100% uptime, account for the flight time and the cast time of your soul fire, but don't sweat it if you lose some up time on it.

Depends on how you want to play, destro has the advantage of instant Conflag, but Afflic has some decent drain power with Soulburn: Drain Life, and Demo obviously has the super power Felguard. I would suggest trying them all out, at 30 you can get duel spec, and one respec won't cost much, so give them all a try and see which one you find the most success with.

The only change I would make for soloing is take the points out of Demonic Rebirth and put them in Demonic Aegis. The extra self healing is far better since when soloing fights will be short, if your pet dies just Soulburn it back up. Tbh really the only things you will want for soloing are in the first 2 tiers of demo and a glyph or two. So it could just as easily be done as Afflic for the self healing they have. Don't forget your Voidwalker Glyph when soloing. He can take much more of a hit than your Fel Guard can.

clipping DoTs isn't the awful thing it once was. you lose some of the efficiency of the original cast but very little in terms of DPS so my feeling (educated guess rather than anything backed up by numbers) is that it would likely be good to recast DoTs when procs line up.
of course, you should be clipping the last tick of most DoTs anyway so you're just talking about clipping a tick or two extra and given the length of most DoTs you're highly likely to refresh at some point during the proc anyway.
