So i was trying to figure out at which point Drain Soul is better to use than Shadowbolt while flying through the hoops on Alysrazor. Google brought me this fabulous video guide of Alysrazor as an Affliction warlock. The play here is very good and a real pleasure to watch + there were even extra tips such as double dotting onto the birds with soulswap. Not sure if i can pull it off next week but definitely going to try. But enjoy the video.
Anyway - why is it benefitial to switch to drain soul at a certain point you ask? As you gain haste Drain Soul gets extra stacks and still keeps the same drain time while the shadowbolt casts will eventually be faster than your GCD and so you will be waisting time waiting for the GCD will be up. Not to mention DS also refreshes corruption and UA on your target, So you will not have to worry about recasting them.
Not sure if this is backed up by any math, but it does seem pretty reasonable.
PS: Personal tip for the beginning of the fight. Drop your lock portal near the side of the firewall. So you can recover quickly after the initial knockback and you won't have to worry about owning a pair of goblin rocketboots ;)

Dragonwrath, Legendary Staff - questline overview
Right Trying to compose some sort of a quick guide of how-to get the staff once you are on the questline.
- Preparation. kill a T11 endboss. Any of these, Nefarian, Cho'gall or Alak'ir, will do.
Step 1 (A Legendary Engagement)
- Go pick up the initial quest from inside the mage tower in the portal room.
Step 2
- Simply follow the quests to Caverns of time and watch a cutscene.
Step 3 (All-Seeing Eye)
- Go kill a bunch of Firelands bosses to collect 25 Eternal Embers.
10 man drops 0-1 per boss kill
25 man drops 1-3 per boss kill.
Also go buy 3 "Sands of Time" from uldum. Should be around 3k gold for 1. Less or more depending on reputation and guild perks.
Step 4
- You will need to do some solo quests in the nexus area and inside the nexus. Nothing really difficult just follow the quests and you should be done nicely.
Step 5 (Delegation)
- This is where the real tricky bit lies. You need to go dig out the branch of nondrassil from Firelands.
Basically you have to fight each of the 1st 4 bosses in the firelands to aqcuire certain items.
And once you have those items there is a special encounter that needs you to combine all those items to summon it.
Here is a very good post on the forums that explains what you need to do.
Also of a video of the encounter:
After you have killed the boss as you can see you get the branch of nondrassil and you can go and turn it in for your reward.
Step 6
- Some more running about and quest chains
Step 7 (Time Grows Short)
- Collect 1000 "Seething Sinders". Again dropped from bosses in firelands. More RNG. Nothing more really needs to be said here i think.
Step 8 - (The heard of flame)
After successfully managing to grind your way to a 1000 seething sinders you will be given your final task to go an kill ragnaros and obtain his fiery "heart of flame"
After managing this the staff should be in your hand
