So I recently got my Scourge Warlock (named Wilfred Brimley) up to 70 and into the guild. Playing a DPS class is outside of my normal routine, but I've really been enjoying it.
When Mod 6 hit I changed over to the Soulbinder Damnation spec, and so far it's worked well. Right now my damage is not great (68 million in eToS is my best, my IL is 2022), but a lot of that will improve as I get better artifacts, enchantments and boons. But one thing I've had trouble with has been selecting a third encounter.
I use Fiery Bolt and Dreadtheft at all times. What I can't seem to figure out is what encounter to use otherwise. Warlock's Bargain is great for single target stuff like Lostmauth, but I don't like running it otherwise.
I've tried Hadars Grasp (I think that's it, its the choke one), Soul Scorch, Killing Flames and Harrowstorm. I really can't decide which one works best.
I tried to give Soul Scorch a try as others have sworn by it, but I really didn't like it. I've seen that it may be situationally good against single targets which I am yet to try.
I'm open to any suggestions you guys have.
I also have a question about at will attacks. Right now I'm running essence defiler and dark spiral aura. Essence defiler is obvious as it builds sparks, but I find little use for dark spiral aura. I was thinking of running hand of blight instead and using that once I get my sparks full.
Any input is appreciated!

I run the following....always. I'm lazy, so don't like changing stuff all the time. I'm Soul-dammed as well.
Warlocks Bargain, Harrowstorm, Dreadtheft...The best feature from WB is the fact it works like a non-consumable curse. This, then harrow....once you get your critical chance up is love. Followed with DT and things just melt. Harrow is also a from of CC....cast it, let it proc a bit...drop a curse on the target...it consumes the Harrow...but for most targets they are then tossed in the air and proned on the ground.
Dark Spirals on the left, ED on the right. I generally never fire DS...it's there for the AP Gain. But, I will say, when you have 3 spheres it can do some nice single shot damage...i use it more in PVP then PvE though. The finishing blow really.
I also run Immolations and TT for encounters....TT really is great, but such a pain...honestly, the curse mechanic is a pain at times, which is why I love WB so much.
I used to use FB...and it isn't a bad power at all....but i found it better when solo leveling for an opening shot...then now. Especially with the panther active.
My rotation is Immo, WB, Harrow, and DT pretty much all of the time, and I do ok damage wise.

Thanks!
For me FB does a lot more damage than harrowstorm but I generally spam curse on everything before fighting, I'll try it like you suggested.
Right now WB tends to get me killed if I'm facing multiple enemies, but I'm still getting my stats up so that will get better I hope. I do love the damage output it does so I might try it again.
As for dailies I use the same two, but really only call Immolation spirits lol.
