The Destruction Warlock list in short
This is the Best in Slot list for the Destruction Warlock in WotLK 3.3.5a Phase 4: the strongest realistic gear from Icecrown Citadel 25, Ruby Sanctum and Trial of the Grand Crusader. It covers 17 equipment slots with the enchant, the gems and the close alternatives for every piece.
In short: the Final build uses the Bloodsurge, Kel'Thuzad's Blade of Agony in the main hand with the Shadow Silk Spindle in the off hand and the Corpse-Impaling Spike as the ranged weapon; its trinkets are Phylactery of the Nameless Lich and Charred Twilight Scale; the head slot is Sanctified Dark Coven Hood and the chest is Sanctified Dark Coven Robe.
