At the top of this page there is a thread called "Helpful threads - Read before posting". Inside of that thread, there is a link to this topic:
Warlock 3.1 Tanking Guide
.
Morale of the story is, READ THE STICKIES BEFORE POSTING.

Wow, thank you for that incredibly useful response that shows the ins-and-outs of all the math and what not behind it.
Unfortunately, I don't understand the short answer to the very simple question that TTUWileE posted:
Does Metamorphosis multiply Demon Armor?
That's really a yes-or-no question, not a "READ THE STICKIES YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING BLAH BLAH BLAH HERE'S A COMPLEX PAGE OF MATH" question.

He did answer all questions about it by simply linking to a page (that's supposed to be read before posting) that has all the answers.
If you don't read the stickies before posting, you won't get a straight answer; because we simply don't have to answer it when there's a huge resource of information a couple of clicks away.

Actually, I don't see anywhere on that page where it says whether metamorphosis affects Demon Armor or not.
I.e., it doesn't say.
Or if it does, it's not clear.
So perhaps someone could respond with a more useful comment?

Since you want to be spoon fed.
The answer is no; the armor bonus from Demon Armor is not multiplied by Metamorphosis. If it did, we'd be unstoppable to melee.

Thank you!
See? Being helpful wasn't so hard.

I didn't have to answer that. The answers are already right here on Wowhead. Why come to a database when you want to ignore all the comments and threads that list information?
Post by
Slohth
You're right. You didn't have to answer it. But you did. I appreciate your time and insight.

You weren't even the one who asked the question in the first place...
Post by
Slohth
Actually, I asked TTUWileE over google chat... TTUWileE went and posted the question here. So actually, yes, I did first ask it.

"You transform into a Demon for 30 sec. This form increases your armor contribution

by 600%"
important bit in bold.
it doesn't multiply demon armour, devotion aura, MotW etc.

The important thing to remember here is that Demon Armor is a buff; it is factored in as part of your armor AFTER things like Metamorphosis.

no, you're looking at the
talent's tooltip
you should look at the
spell itself
.

Why the two are different, I may never know.
It seems the spell's version is correct, due to its effect listed on the page:
Apply Aura: Mod Base Resistance % (1)
Value: 600
My bad for the misinformed reply.

of course, it's very easy to test this stuff even without going to the great lengths of reading the tooltip:
log in.
check armour value without demon armour.
cast demon armour.
check new armour value.
cast meta.
check
new
new armour value
(#2 x 6) + (#4 - #2) = #6
