@{^_^} - I have some long ass time experience with warlock, so I'm talking purely by my experience and ppl I played with experiences + some good ass guides on warlock... No matter what you do you will end up farming alot of SP, if you are playing warlock...
I am respecting your opinion, and you are right! That stuff actually works great for you, and yes, AoE debuffs pretty much SUCK if you are lvling alone...
@Lolill0 - AoE DoTs will get you seeking for a spot with ALOT of mobs with really good spawn rate, cause there won't be enough for you to kill... ^_^ So changing spot every 10 min would work out great for you!
no AoE debuffs for pvp, just for grinding, I have tried many ways of grinding, with debuffs (sucked pretty much), with flowers (also pain in the ass, if you don't use bot actually), AoE dots worked the best, I used to get about 20++ kills per minute while doing that at mobs about 3lvls below me.
(I ment the AoE DoTs for handgrinding actually, which is FTW with warlock, the only char I loved 2 handgrind with...) + You get ZERK ALL THE TIME while grinding with DoTs. Also, there is a bug which allows you to put 4 DoTs on 1 mob, Giant's dieing pretty fkin amazingly fast!
But if you bot actually, don't add the AoE DoTs, since bots really suck on using them, the best bot for that = SroKing.
So summing that up -
You bot with SroKing - Deffinitely add the AoE DoTs
You bot with any other bot and don't plan on handgrinding - Don't add them, useless then.
You actually handgrind - AoE DoTs all the way!!!
What goes for AoE debuffs -
You are party botting all the time - Add them, would increase your parties kill rate pretty much.
You are not botting in party - Forget about them, they suck for you!
PVP -
AoE debuffs and DoTs sucks for PVP, I wouldn't suggest adding the AoE debuffs at all if you won't be botting in a party with that char...
I could actually post a guide for a warlock if some people needed that, that would take some time but ya, could do that. Also more on this topic :

Warlock grinding with DoTs
Another great example why AoE DoTs - FTW for handgrinding
