Maybe it's that I am not skilled at this class, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do the 'best rotation'.

I have seen SB Damnation's running dungeons and doing way more than most everyone, and with a considerably less IL.

What Class Features?
What power combination?
What at-wills?

I also know that these people run the Lost set, and stack for crit using vorpal, but I don't know what they're doing with combinations.

    Well if you are Damnation, rotation won't matter much as your dps are coming from puppet, but i can tell you this, Warlock bargain(probably is going to be nerfed soon) are our key skill, as it allow you to use mostly curse consuming skills without consuming it, dreadtheft is our mostly damaging encounter for pve, for third skill, i sometime go for soul scorch, but mostly go with killing flames(note it must be rank 3, cause on rank 4 it have a longer CD. you can thank devs for breaking it at mod 6).
    As for class features, go for borrowed time for self healing and if want to cast tyranical treat often, bring dust to dust as second class feature, all consuming curse is very useless for damnation as you don't need lesser curse. At-wills i go for essence deffiler and hand of blight.

    Lolset is nice but not essential for PVE, going PVP lolset is a must have

    thats what i run, and it is fun:

    http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter/#/discussion/1204661/rebuilding-sw-build-on-xbox-please-help

    get arp to 5-6k (60%)
    get crit as high as possible
    take a ioun stone of allure or a Compagnion and fill in with 3 crit (ioun stone) or bonding RS (Compagnion), and fill in the rest of your 6 slot from the OP rings/necks for compagnions, so you get really high stats
    weapon enchant is only one choice (vorp) imo , most damage by far in PVE, Plaguefire is for tanks or supporter class and does not work well in PVE with warlock, my GWF is much better choice for PF enchant
    in PVP i use Bronzewood, cheap and most effective compared to pure Plague fire and vorp --> doesn´t work in PVP
    T fey would be BIS for PVP, can´t afford it

    AND: the rotation does matter for sure (WC-only to proc CD as fury) WB - HG, because of curse synergy, going 1. HG and 2. WB HG does not proc PF debuff f.e. 3 times as I remember, test yourself its some time ago in my case, gererally its allways good to cast your curse (WB first and follow up with other encounter

    AND: there is no question to use Dust to Dust as there is no question to take ACC in dungeon, lesser curse procs on every crit and works with most curse consuming encounter so in case your target is not WC´d or WB´d it does:
    Essencedefiler: spark on every hit and 3 sparks on the third hit !
    Soul Scorch: trigger the DOT from SS in case of lesser curse is applied
    Dread theft: stack buff/debuff up to 5 times

    but will not work with cc effect from HS, HG .. makes sence to me, you hav to WC the target for using
    and some more minor intersting things like BOVA curse synergizm--but in does fill up sparks in case a crit procs LC

    if you need more survivablity skip ACC for BT, but always and everytime use DtD running trashmobs
    thats no question and not to discus :)
