Warlock talents changed for launch

Talent	Tree	Now
Improved Drains	Affliction	Now covers Drain Mana instead of Wrack: Drain Life, Drain Soul and Drain Mana deal or drain 7 / 13 / 20% more.
Amplify Curse	Affliction	Your next Curse of Weakness or Bane of Agony is 50% stronger, or your next Curse of Exhaustion 20% stronger. Instant, 3 min cooldown. Now works correctly on Curse of Exhaustion and Bane of Agony.
Wrack	Affliction	Channel: about 86 Shadow damage every second at level 60 (was 36), with double the spell-power scaling; your other Shadow damage-over-time effects on the target deal 10% more for 6 sec. 200 mana, 30 yd. Improved Drains no longer boosts it.
Shadow and Flame	Destruction	Conflagrate gives up to +20% Shadow damage and Shadowburn up to +20% Fire damage (4% per rank) for 20 sec; Conflagrate has up to a 100% chance not to consume Immolate and Shadowburn up to a 100% chance to refund its Soul Shard.
