Overview
WoW Forever Destruction goes deep into its own tree for Fire damage, instead of combining 
Shadow Bolt, 
Ruin and another tree. 
Incinerate, a new filler spell, deals Fire damage, 25% more if 
Immolate is on the target.
Bane of Havoc, a new talent, copies 15% of your damage on other targets to the cursed target, for 5 min: cleave on 2 targets. 
Shadow and Flame ties your two schools together: 
Conflagrate empowers your Shadow damage, 
Shadowburn your Fire damage. At 5/5, Conflagrate keeps your Immolate and Shadowburn refunds its shard.
You get strong burst with Conflagrate and Shadowburn, and good area damage, since 
Hellfire and 
Rain of Fire benefit from the tree. Your sustained damage on several targets stays weaker than Affliction’s. The rotation is simple and suits beginners. Ruin now needs 5 points, and Improved Shadow Bolt no longer has charges; whether it also benefits others is still to be confirmed. At level 20 on the beta, the spec ranks in tier B among DPS.
