Granted - I have not read all 560 pages, but I have the following questions - just purchased premium btw so the questions are with that in mind.
25Heroic PVE only.
1. It seems affliction is lacking compared to Destro - is this accurate?
2. Kinks guide a few hundred pages back and linked in the OP - is this still accurate knowing the affliction is not as good as destro?
This next question is at Millz - in the premium site - there is an SOO guide - is that the most accurate to your knowledge on how to maxmize dps in SOO?
I'd recommend reading some guides at Icy Veins and set your settings compared to that

If you're totally lost yes use the guides here that will help you setup a standard base setting.
I found a bug somehow my old settings that i saved uses haunt, but if i make a new defaut setting then it wont use the haunt as affliction. But i do not really care about it as my old settings are working 100%

As affliction i'm pulling 1mil dps at protectors, but i feel its very bad to use affliction on Shamans etc.
Destro is really good i'd say, it have been improved much i'd say. It can still beat people that are 10-30 ilevel higer than you, becuase most people can't pull off a good rotation nowdays.
But if you have problems with the Affliction, then use the destro that cant go wrong!
Guys , is't only me or Pve players are also noticing this : if yes plz help me
PVE Affliction is really bad , in Aoe fights and Single fight compared to a good affliction player not even high end.
and i only can compete with less than average players as affliction. my ilvl is pretty high 580+ and my dps is really bad in Aoe and single fights to a point i just play destro to save myself from getting trolls.
so if ur having the same affliction problem , plz share a solution. thats if u got one
thanks
Hmm.. What problems are you referring to? If you're 580 ilevel+ you should know what the rotation is doing wrong.
Can't really help you, yes i can send you my settings, but that wont really help you if you dont know where to position yourself and who to target.
Also to pull high dps you should know your distance from your mob and play around with the settings of refreshing the dots.
I do not have any problems with affliction, and when i read the comments i see that everyone but me got problems with it.
You might try reinstalling HB, and only install the Combat routine and try it out.
Also disable everything you dont use (Every settings you dont use in the routine), that will increase the speed of the rotation to kick in.
And all that have problems with pausing, try to DISALBE everything and run the rotation it will be more smooth. Also get a better computer and run with tyrael or Lazy Raider at max Frames this will make the rotation even more smooth.
I feel BIG difference on just 10 frames even tho i use the tyraels maximum settings.
Also you should make a macro for your prepot/precast, i usually start of by casting Haunt, becuase the time it takes that for haunt to travel the rotation will kick in and put all the dots on the target before haunt is hitting, that way you will have a nice opener and deal lots of dmg
Sorry m8, but after updating to last revision, the pause is still there as described before.
MG ( 1sec) - stop - MG ( 1sec)- stop - MG ( 1sec)- stop - Pause 3-5 secs
This aint my setup m8, theres something wrong.

And then it goes about the first 3, those are as described. The rest is normal.
Is this low level? Can it be the lack of premium?
Maybe its trying to find spells that you dont have yet.
Also i'd use the destro in low levels
