With 5/5 Bane I would drop Nightfall as well
Ignore Blightman's blatant stupidity. Nightfall can save the day in so many circumstances (4% of the time, anyway).
with Bane: SB takes 2.5s to cast for every SB.
with Nightfall: you occasionally get an instant SB that triggers a 1.5s GCD.
Play with this
DPS Calculator to get a rough idea of how much of a DPS boost you will see from Nightfall.
This is the results of 2 runs, 1 with Nightfall one without. In this case it came up with approx 2 extra bolts in a 600 sec fight.
1655136 Damage in 600 seconds.
2758 Damage per Second.
175 Healing per Second.
Damage Breakdown:
28% Shadowbolt (3423 avg, 139 ticks)
8% Immolate (726 avg, 202 ticks)
27% Corruption (2391 avg, 192 ticks)
23% UnstableAffliction (2227 avg, 172 ticks)
11% SiphonLife (1023 avg, 186 ticks)
1660437 Damage in 600 seconds.
2767 Damage per Second.
171 Healing per Second.
Damage Breakdown:
29% Shadowbolt (3423 avg, 141 ticks)
9% Immolate (726 avg, 209 ticks)
27% Corruption (2391 avg, 191 ticks)
22% UnstableAffliction (2227 avg, 171 ticks)
11% SiphonLife (1023 avg, 184 ticks)
Your mileage may vary but I personally don't think that is worth 2 talent points.

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=Ii0riRckVubZ0xZvx0zrUmmm, do you actually use this spec for raiding?
You have 4/5 Cataclysm and 0/5 Devastation, Why?
No, Imp. Drain Soul for threat reduction, Why Not?
Demonic Embrace is nice but why not take those points and get UA?
