I think affliction lacks the cooldowns to push out insane damage in a very short period of time, since most other dps classes have deathwish ish abilities etc.

Well, that all depends. If we have a one shot scenario, we can outdps anyone in the game over a 75 second stretch with a doomguard. But that's a 1 hour cooldown. Plus, we're very dependent on receiving all the proper buffs (except +13% spell dmg which one lock can provide without a significant loss of dips). That being said, you give us a boomkin for the hit/crit and an ele for the totem of wrath, and if the stars align we can do some serious dips on a standup fight. 12 of the top 20 worldwide Patch parses are affi locks in speed runs through naxx, so we CAN pump it out (Patch speed kills average 90 seconds). But, the real question is, can the other people play like superstars in that ONE attempt we get to make the stars align?
At least with a warrior/DK comp you dont need to wait 1 hour between optimal attempts.
Don't get me wrong, I'll be up for trying it, but that execute deck was mighty stacked in the 76 second kill parse.
Drain Soul is incredibly beast though, ticks for 12-15K every 3 seconds when sub 25%, thats 5000 DPS from a single spell, and if all the other dots are applied in proper time your looking at 10K throughput dps for the last 25% of the fight.
