Best Gems for Affliction Warlock
You should use gems matching your best simming stat. If Intellect is simming
highest, you should socket your gear with one
Leviathan's Eye of Intellect.

Masterful Sea Currant in each socket.

Consumables for Affliction Warlock
Best Flasks and Potions for Affliction
Potion of Unbridled Fury is the best choice for situations with up to 3 targets.
After that, start using 
Superior Battle Potion of Intellect or
Potion of Empowered Proximity.
Greater Flask of Endless Fathoms should be used as your flask of
choice.
Coastal Healing Potion should be used alongside
Healthstones for emergency healing.
Best Food for Affliction
Famine Evaluator And Snack Table is our go-to food. If your raid is not
using feasts, you should use 
Abyssal-Fried Rissole (or your best-simming
stat) instead.
Augment Runes for Affliction
If you can afford it, you should use 
Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes
available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them
for when you need them.
Starting in patch 8.3 you can also use the re-usable
Lightning-Forged Augment Rune to increase your primary stat by an equal
amount.
