Demonologist or Necromancer?

Which do you prefer? Before I put a ton of time into leveling one or the other I wanted to see how good either one is long term. Are demo pets any good? Are either of them wanted for groups? Which one can take more of a beating?

Both of them serve the same purpose, they are ranged dps mages. They're equally wanted in groups.
Necro has a bigger emphasis on pets which you can have many of, and dots. Necro deals mostly unholy and cold damage.
Demo is more about aoe damage, they have 1 pet (2 with a high tier raid reward) but it won't contribute much to your dps. Demo deals mostly fire and electrical damage.

In my opinion chosing between the two boils down to what you prefer doing. If you want to be managing pets and casting dots, chose necro. If you want to cast fire spells on multiple targets, chose demo.

Thanks man, guess it just boils down to flavor then

Necro with pets was pretty good. Pets made good tanks and leveling was nice.
