If you’re low on health, use lower ranks of Life Tap." since I love to PvP I thought this would def help out just when I need a tad of mana instead of life tapping to kill myself faster....nice!!! Lol..I've actually banished a druid transformed into tree of life in Warsong...it was hilarious but he was so dumb he got that form again and I banished him again.,..lmaoooo >>> "16. Cast Siphon Life on hunter’s pet - free healing ftw. Also, you can either cast Curse of Weakness to reduce it’s melee damage, or Corruption (rank 1 is fine) for Nightfall procs if you specced." I alwaaaaaysss do this...I put siphon life on everything and anything...it's so easy for a geared lock to do awesome overall dps in BGs because you just run around DOtTing up everything and sometimes I came out on top in healing..lol!!

Use Curse of Shadows on the target you want to seduce with your Succubus. Her seduce is based on shadow resist.

Probably obvious, but also make sure you get as close to max range from the seduced mob as possible to give your succy every chance to do her business when it wears off; in heroics we can be one- or two-shotted with the right (wrong) mobs as well. Personally this is something I'd only really do if my cc mob wasn't high on the "next to kill" list, otherwise I'd just straight out CoS/seduce, even with mobs going straight for her she's *almost* guaranteed at least one recast before they get to her if you have seduce macro'ed.
