Before I rolled warlock I always thought locks were strongly based around dots.
Now warlocks top pvp as well as pve tree is destruction a nuking tree.. Pve was also destruction in tbc. Has blizzard got the class wrong making us nukers instead of doters?
Just something I find strange. I can perhaps see that balancing a nuking cast time class is simpler so maybe they just took the easy option.
We are basically forced to be mages by basic class description. We are a poor kiting glass cannon.

guys, the problem isn't on blizzard's side. the only problem with running DoTs in PvE is due to the nature "damage over time". the actual damage done is comparable in the right circumstances it's just that DoT damage lacks versatility and so most people choose the other path.
the difference in damage definitely IS NOT insurmountable or non-viable so if you like DoTs, use them. be that guy. get good at it.

No, Blizzard didn't get anything wrong, and they haven't "made" you into anything.
They give you a choice as to how you play the class.
If your choice is based solely on what rates you highest on the DPS meters, then you should prepare to not be able to play your favorite style all the time.
Me... I'll just play what ever I like playing, DPS meters be damned :-]
Which is Demon/Affliction, by the way.

I rolled a warlock to be a freakin' badass.
Destro has green fire; the spell with these graphics hits like a truck filled with infernals, driven by a Doomguard.
That's pretty freakin' badass.

I rolled a warlock so I could send in my Felguard and then sit there playing Bejweled the whole raid.
