This is a up-to-date Affliction Warlock Rotation for patch 5.3. If you have any questions or suggestions on the rotation, please let me know.

Single Targets

Agony
Cast on target, and always keep it up.

Corruption
Cast on target, and always keep it up.

Unstable Affliction
Cast on target, and always keep it up.

Haunt
Use when you have a Soul Shard or if you’re in Shadow Trance. When you enter Shadow Trance, you can cast spells for 5 seconds, and they don’t cost any Soul Shards.

Malefic Grasp
Only use when you have all your dots up and Haunt isn’t available.

Drain Soul
When target is below 20%, start using this instead of Malefic Grasp.

Soulburn/Soul Swap
When you have tons of Soul Shards from using Drain Soul, start using Soulburn and Soul Swap to refresh dots.

Multiple Targets

SoulBurn/Seed of Corruption
Start with Soulburn, then cast Seed of Corruption.

Soulburn/Soul Swap
While Seeds are ticking, use both spells to keep up all of your dots.

Drain Soul
When you start seeing mobs below 20%, use Drain Soul to get your Soul Shards back.

Rain of Fire
If you have a ton of enemies, just spam Rain of Fire. The more the better.

If you’re still having trouble figuring out your Rotation or need a more advanced one, then check out the addon I use called Edge. It will show you how to set-up your talents, what glyphs to use, and detailed rotations for leveling, pvp, and raiding.
