if you were in you demo spec (41.30) then i'd be surprised at that kind of regen. replenishment can definitely be up 100% of the time but it doesn't stack and neither does the totem and BoW any more.
but if that's what you're seeing then drop it ^^
if you LT for the buff and not for mana then the lost GCDs kill the benefit. essentially GoLT sits on a super fine line, on the one hand you LT too little and on the other you LT too much (more than every 20secs). i think it's one of those things that works great in sims but maybe doesn't translate so well to actual boss fights.
another reason, if i needed more, that i really like 0/13/58 these days.

For me, I would try and life tap before refreshing my DoTs, and then try and get the DoTs back up again before the LT buff dropped. I lost buff uptime while casting Incinerate, but I didn't think dropping the GCDs just to put the buff back up was worth it.
Like previous poster, I'm happy with Destro now, so I'll keep FG/Ember on ice unless I need a survivability spec or something.

One question. How much spirit do you actually need to have for the glyph of life tap to become more effective then a glyph of incinerate at level80 destrospecced?
the gear I pickup from ulduar has significatly less spirit then naxx gear, and I also am considering on ditching lifetap just for proccing the buff.
I'd post my armoury link if it wasnt undergoing maintanance. ;p

any destro warlock in t8.
not "any". 0/13/58 yes. 3/13/55 no.
@felborn, my sentence was a little unclear. separate replenishments don't stack up on the same character. totem and BoW don't stack together.

of course it's worth it:
T7 3/13/55 - 6981
T7 0/13/58 - 6897
▼
T8 0/13/58 - 7931
T8 3/13/55 - 7868

lol, i think you're missing just how close they are with 3/13/55 clearly ahead in the T7 bracket and only just behind (less than a single percent!) when you get into
best in slot
T8.
these things need to be FAR more clear cut before you get to go using phrases like "taking suppression isn't worth it".

But for end game t8 raiding the healing/mana regen of soul leech far outweigh the meager hit provided by suppression.
for
you
, but that's a subjective thing.
and that's fine, they all sound like excellent reasons for you to have made your choice but others will see it differently. others will see any perceived DPS gain as
the
most important thing and arguable raid utility or survivability as important but ultimately secondary.
both of these views are fine. what isn't very constructive is writing off a build the way you're doing. there are plenty of builds that we can write off relatively easily, "viable" builds that actually don't cut the mustard when you do some serious comparisons.
3/13/55 isn't one of those.
my point is that your choice is a sound one but that doesn't make it the right one for others and, therefore, good advice on a forum like this.

Ever heard of rank 1 life tap? Sucks out around 300 HP, and procs GoLT. I used it for a while (mostly to keep Dragon Soul's proc up), but now I use rank 1 Health Funnel.
HOWEVER, if you are still using GoLT, Rank 1 LT is still an option.
