Being a long time MMORPG Veteran, I thought I'd throw my current solo battle style out there; I am level 12 at the moment so I will be listing the spells I have. I also have 2 talents in fast casting Affliction spells; this will come into play later in the lesson. I have passed this info on in game numerous times and it seams to help folks, so here it goes.
My number line up.
1. Weapon attack (Staff, I have no wand yet)
2. Immolate (Rank 2) Long cast spell
3. Corruption (Fast Cast!!)
4. Curse of Agony (Instant cast)
5. Shadow Bolt (Rank 3)
6. Curse of Weakness (Curses do not stack, they override each other) Rank 2
7. Fear
8. Demon Skin (Rank 2)
9. Health Funnel
10. Drain soul (Gets you a soul shard)
-. "Use Health stone" shortcut
+. Summon Imp
First, Summon your Imp, it had better damage than your Voidwalker, then create a healthstone and make a shortcut to it (Free 100 HPs) and drag a shortcut to the - slot. Then bring up your Demon Skin. Then get a good distance away from a mob (Bad Guy).
1. Pull weapon.
2. Immolate, your longest cast DoT, (Damage over Time spell) this will aggro the mob and it will come chasing after you.
3. Corruption, DoT 2, do to the Fast Cast Talent this spell lands on the mob before it gets to you.
4. Now that the mob is on top of you, Curse of Agony. (Curses are Instant Cast!)
Now you are beating on the mob, your Imp is beating on the mob, and 3 DoTs are going to town on the mob. This guy is at a severe disadvantage now.
5. Immediately after the mob hits you, initiate a Shadowbolt. The spell will get bumped once or twice, but as soon as it goes off, the mob is right next to dead.
If you need soulstones initiate a #10 "Drain Soul" when the mob is almost dead.
If you get in trouble, throw "Curse of Weakness" at your assailant to lesson its whooping on you, "Fear" that bugger and start running, and click your healthstone for 100 HPs.
This style has served me well thus far; I will try to throw a higher level version of this out when I get higher level. Also a party guide when I start partying.
