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 ;)
