Affliction Mythic + Talents
Affliction brings an exceptionally strong AOE profile via Dark Harvest and Hellcaller's Wither/Malevolence abilities. With the changes it has received in The War Within, it is also no longer lacking in Single Target when optimized for Mythic +.
Soul Harvester Affliction Mythic +
Demonology Mythic + Talents
Demonology brings with it a strong, cleave damage profile with its main cooldown (Demonic Tyrant) being a short, 1-minute CD.
Diabolist Demonology Mythic + AOE
Destruction Mythic + Talents
Destruction Warlock has two different builds shown below, one being Hellcaller based while the other is Diabolist.
Hellcaller Destruction Mythic + AOE
The Hellcaller version of Destruction opts to play Cataclysm over Inferno (due to its mass Wither application) and Channel Demonfire to permanently maintain the effect in AOE. With this profile, the spec feels quite smooth to play in both Single Target and AOE.
Hellcaller also receives the Malevolence cooldown as a capstone, which you will want to cast every minute AFTER your Wither's have been applied, granting Haste and bonus damage/Wither stacks to all targets.
Diabolist Destruction Mythic + AOE
Diabolist Demonology in Mythic + also plays the Cataclysm talent, similar to Hellcaller.
The frequent spending of Soul Shards also means that you will be summoning Diabolist Demons more frequently, which also empower your own abilities with spells such as Ruination (large meteor effect) and Infernal Bolt. The Diabolist Demons themselves do also cleave.
