Please look at my build for my Warlock.
Everyone is always talkin about being either Destro spec or Afflic spec. My personally I dnt see the why alot of people dont mention a Demo spec for PvP. This is the buil that I use, and I have been extremely successful.
It drives me crazy to always see a build that has nothing towards Demo, and I think that people just underestimate a Demo spec sometimes.
I am a Demo addict, and especially my Felgaurd, but i also take care of my Destro as well. I think that people need to take harder look at what it means to be a Warlock.
Remarks?

I think the reason ppl underestimate Felguard specc in pvp is because SL/SL dominates 2v2 and 3v3 and a large number of ppl do those arena sizes despite it being very imbalanced. By going SL/SL they are making sure they are on the winning side of the imbalance.
As for your build - if your main focus is PvP then there are a few things about this build that are kinda wrong. I hesitate to use the word 'wrong' so maybe 'useless in pvp' is better.
- the benefit of 2% crit from Devastation is insignificant compared to your demon taking 10% less dmg if you put the points in Demonic Resilience.
- 5/5 suppression is way more than you need for PvP. 1/5 is often what affliction pvpers have but I don't think you can spare the points.
- 2/2 Soul Siphon is not useful in this spec because as your Drain Life is very interuptable you won't be doing it much, and your target will have very few Affliction effects on it (compared to a UA lock who would have yours plus Siphon, Shadow Embrace and UA) so the boost is not very big anyways.
- you need instant corruption
- 1/3 Mana Feed is an extremely nice talent. Keeps the felguard intercepting and cleaving. They go oom fast otherwise.
So

is a nice build i would recommend for PvPing. Very similar to what you had but with a few minor fixes.
hope this helps :-)

personally for me i find the best demo pvp spec to be 20/41/0
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=Iq0rV0fZotczIizMesk
I use only 1 point in IMP HS because usually theirs another lock if your doing pvp (locks are a dime a dozen in AV & AB it seems) & it seems everyone puts either 2 or 0 points in it.. so this way u get 2 ranks of HS :D
Edit: i dont see why everyone chooses a spec like 7/43/11 for pvp imo its really bad.. generally your being hit in PVP.. u dont have the 70% chance to avoid interuption in either Aff or Destro talents

I agree, Shadowburn is generally underated. I think ppl get confused when it is called "burst" dps because of course it ain't a huge burst by itself.
It's best used either when, as Delly says, you got nothing else you can do at that moment, or when you add it on the back of a cast.
Consider this scenario: you are in arena and you get left alone for 3 or 4 seconds (it does happen). You can cast a Shadow Bolt, cast searing pain while the bolt is in mid air and end it with a Shadowburn. Even all non-critting you should be hitting for about 3.5k with that lot. For the total cast time the dps is not super impressive, but because of the mid air time of the Bolt and the instant Shadowburn, your 3.5k of dmg all lands within 1 second or less depending on your range. Kinda scary for the enemy healers. Without Bane or Shadowburn you are 100% committed to attrition dmg

:-) About 5 times in one EotS i saw warlocks try and fail to banish my Felguard. They'd try again and again. resist. resist. resist. They were 2/3rd dead by the time they gave up. Now THAT was funny. Almost made me think of starting arena again on my lock. :-)
and i gotta agree 110% with Gauroth, NIKKO9393's Demon build is so bad it's actually quite funny. I feel a bit bad saying that, but it did make me chuckle. It does however highlight a point - leveling Demon locks need to do a complete respec when they hit lvl 50. Imp Void and Health funnel are both excellent aids to questing/grinding when levelling up, but are completely superseded when you hit 50 and get the Felguard. Off the top of my head i can't think of any other build on any class that requires you to get points that you then NEED to ditch 20 or so levels later.
