Wouldn't bother with sicken, it's a waste of a spell slot imo. The same logic works for affliction pull tho. Affliction only does 6 dmg a tick and lasts like 20ish ticks, so losing 2 dmg for 2 of the ticks also won't make much of a difference. Since I med-joust, slow was just a waste of mana. When I hit 24 and got envenomed breath, which only lasts 7 ticks according to wiki, I started just pulling with a nuke if I planned to drag the mob along behind me for a couple of ticks. I stopped using affliction, because I've found that dragging out a fight for 2 minutes is less efficient than just spending some mana to speed the fight up.
