As I said in another I just got dual on a levelling warlock and tried 
destro again.
And found out why it seemed weak when going 80-90 on the other one.
Relative balance changes anyway with levels and new skills but there was 
another reason.

Coming back after a long while everything was new,everything was reset 8 
sets of specs to set , lots of things to buy , chars to level, 
professions to level , a week to do it in.
I forgot to assign glyphs and talents on the destro one, so it seemed 
weak and I didn't go back until just now.
  The affliction was glyphed for destro, and destro had no glyphs or 
talents. I think maybe I thought I changed to destro, probably got 
distracted and came back and set up destro on the affliction warlock.
  Both were underpowered, and still blitzed through.

Another DOH! moment :-)
