Destruction: RankedBoost build0/13/38DS/Ruin: sacrificed Imp and Shadow Bolt0/11/40Demonology tank: Pact and Voidwalker0/41/10Demonic Pact: sacrificed Imp and Felhunter 20/31/0
The main dueling and world PvP build, and Forever's biggest addition. Prepare a free Imp, use 
Demonic Sacrifice for +15% Shadow damage for 2 hours, then summon a Felhunter and 
Soul Link it. You keep the sacrifice bonus, redirect 30% of damage to the Felhunter, reduce magic damage taken by 10% through 
Master Demonologist, 
Spell Lock every 24 seconds and 
Devour Magic every 8. Affliction provides instant Corruption, Nightfall and Exhaustion alongside a bane. Downsides: preparation after death requires two summons and shards, Link can be dispelled, and you lack 
Siphon Life and 
Molten Skin. Forever Open rules prohibit sacrificing a demon before a duel.
Variants. Against melee, sacrifice a Felhunter for 3% health every 4 seconds and summon a shielding Voidwalker: open in the calculator →. For damage, sacrifice an Imp and use a Succubus with 19.5-second Seduction: open in the calculator →. Replace Affliction with Ruin, Shadowburn, Molten Skin and 
Conflagrate: open in the calculator →.
SL/SL: Soul Link and Siphon Life 21/21/9
The main battleground build and a TBC legend that could not fit into Classic's 51 points. It combines Siphon Life, Corruption and a bane for DoT pressure and healing, Exhaustion, Nightfall, Soul Link with a Voidwalker whose shield is 30% stronger or a Felhunter, 
Fel Domination, and Destruction's Molten Skin 4/5 (-8% damage taken) with 36-yard damaging spells. Strengths: outstanding survival and multi-target pressure. Weaknesses: no Master Demonologist, Pact or Ruin. Beta forums call SL/SL a top PvP choice.
Variants. For damage, take 
Shadow Mastery and Pandemic instead of Destruction: open in the calculator →. For survival, take Master Demonologist instead of Molten Skin: open in the calculator →.
Wrack and Ruin: DoTs and burst 31/0/20
The successor to Classic's SM/Ruin. Affliction reaches its capstone: Wrack, 
Soul Siphon (+36% drain damage with three of your effects), Pandemic with doubled DoT critical damage bonuses, Siphon Life, Nightfall and Exhaustion. Destruction adds Molten Skin -10%, Ruin for Shadow Bolt and Shadowburn, Intensity, Conflagrate and 36-yard damage range. Strengths: the best DoT damage and battleground pressure. Weaknesses: dependence on DoTs that Priests and Paladins dispel, no Link or sacrifice bonus, and unmeasured level 60 Wrack damage.
A variant without a living demon sacrifices a Felhunter or Imp and takes Molten Skin 4/5: open in the calculator →.
Destruction: RankedBoost build 0/13/38
The only published Forever Warlock PvP build. Molten Skin reduces damage taken by 10%; Aftermath makes each Conflagrate slow by 50%; Pyroclasm gives 
Soul Fire a 26% chance to stun for 3 seconds. 
Fire and Brimstone and 
Shadow and Flame let Conflagrate retain Immolate, while Shadowburn immediately refunds its shard. Demonology adds a Succubus with 19.5-second Seduction. The combo: Seduction, Curse of the Elements, Soul Fire, Immolate, Conflagrate, Shadowburn. Weaknesses: no Link or sacrifice bonus, high mana and shard use, and interruptible long casts.
Variants. With Incinerate, 
Bane of Havoc and Decimation: open in the calculator →. Fire plus instant Corruption, Nightfall and Exhaustion, like Classic's 19/0/32: open in the calculator →.
DS/Ruin: sacrificed Imp and Shadow Bolt 0/11/40
Classic DS/Ruin, but Forever sacrifices the Imp for +15% Shadow damage. 
Improved Shadow Bolt, Ruin, Shadow and Flame, Pyroclasm, Bane of Havoc and Molten Skin form the core. Strengths: maximum ranged damage, acting as a turret behind a healer. Weaknesses: without a demon you lack Spell Lock, Seduction and Link, making solo melee matchups difficult.
A more Classic-like variant adds instant Corruption from Affliction: open in the calculator →.
Talent-by-talent notes in the PvP guide →Demonology tank: Pact and Voidwalker 0/41/10
A niche choice for defending bases or carrying when nobody else can. Sacrifice a Felhunter for 3% health every 4 seconds, then use a Voidwalker with an improved shield, Soul Link, 
Demonic Pact, Master Demonologist's -10% physical damage, Molten Skin's -10% overall damage, and 
Improved Health Funnel to keep the demon alive. Damage is minimal, but killing this Warlock takes a very long time.
