As of the latest PTR update, Life Tap is being returned to spellpower scaling. Note no changes are being made to glyph of life tap or our other spirit scaling options, just the size of life tap.
Short story, assuming life tap is being returned to it's old status (which was equal scaling pre-talents to dark pact), this basically marks the end of dark pact affliction. Life tap's higher base (1490 vs. 1200) and 1.2x multiplier from talents will keep it ahead of dark pact at all gear levels. The tired "less healer pressure" argument is as invalid as ever - affliction can life tap four times more than it's mana use, and still get immense overhealing just from corruption.
Even if it's not equal, if life tap's coefficient is greater or equal to 0.8, life tap affliction will remain ahead of dark pact affliction at all gear levels.
