PvE-wise it would be better to stick to Affliction until you've reached the T5 instances, as this is the point where 0/21/40 begins to do more DPS than 41/0/20 thanks to a different distribution of stat points in higher-level items (+damage stays almost the same, +crit goes up). But if you like Destro - go ahead. ;-)

I always recommend destro to people coming from playing a fire mage. While still very different, the similarities are enough to warrant playing the spec for leveling. But if you want to level faster, you need less downtime and to be able to handle more mobs at once.
Affliction is the way to go for that, because you can take advantage of "drain tanking" where you apply your dots to multiple mobs (including Siphon Life) and use Drain Life liberally. Once you master this you will usually end up clearing a small group of mobs still close to full health/mana. It's very satisfying.

I have to admit, though, that at 65 I respecced from Affliction to 41 points in Demonology (for the Felguard) and the rest in Affliction. That got me to 70 with ease, but I was also questing with a Shadow Priest. VE and VT, the Felguard, and both our dots made it cakewalk to level. You might try Demonology if you like your pet doing a lot of the work. That being said, for solo work, Affliction is still king for leveling.
Once you hit 70, if you start raiding, go Affliction + Destruction or Demo + Destruction. Both have their places and are well received.
