For 25 man raids I'm thinking:

Although I'll prolly go 0/24/37 for PvP and see how it goes.
(maybe something like this: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=VZE0moVzhZcGhzpcMuNu
but probably a mix between pve and pvp talents)

I figure if you're speccing deep survival for the benefit of the raid, the BM/MM hunters in the guild can pick up Imp HM, so I left that out. This also should help you quite a bit, since you can pick up 5/5 eff and 2/3 TotH and hopefully not have to rely on consumables/sp's so much.

I'm shooting for 700+ agi unbuffed at the moment. This is easily attainable imo, although some depends on 5 man blues(i.e. wastewalker gloves until you down Gruul) until you get farther into content. With 25% more agi(kings and LR) and ~70 agi from GoA, you hit abut 1k agi(my goal for now).

If you're just entering kara, you might want to try and get equal status on rogue agi gear(except maybe edgewalker, since we can get fiend slayer as a decent alternative) so that later on, when you're trying to get a rogue leather piece with 40 agi on it instead of a hunter mail piece with 0 agi but tons of ap/crit, you don't get into a QQfest.


Gear choices(I wish I'd saved me earlier wishlist)

Head: t4 or leather engy if we're allowed to wear it
+8 agi gem +agi meta gem(2.1). Can't recall if there's a +4 agi yellow gem for the +4 agi socket bonus, but it might be worth getting that or just +8 crit / +8 hit(if you need it). Overall much better for personal dps at a cost of 1 ap to the raid

Neck: heroic neck / jagged bark pendant / bone chain necklace

Shoulders: Assassination(+8 agi gems)

Chest: Beast lord/laughing skull(+8 +8 +4 agi gems for beast lord)

Cloak: heroic cloak. maybe cloak of the craft(ah blue, like 25 agi and hit and weak ap). I believe the new slowfall cloak(2.1) has like 20+ agi as well, so that could work.

wrists: felstalker(+8 agi) or attuman bracers(21 agi in 2.1)

boots: edgewalker or fiend slayer

belt: felstalker, girdle of treachery, dunewind sash(heroic UB)

legs: scaled greaves of patience(+8 agi gems), t4, void reaver greaves(if you're lucky enough), emerald scale greaves(though heroic durnholde was annoying compared to regular)

gloves: gruul's gloves(+8 agi gems), wastewalker(+8 agi gems), t4 gloves, gloves of dexterous manipulation

rings: garona's(20 agi post patch) and either averinn's ring of slaying(heroic ramps), pathfinder's band(25 agi 34 ap boe blue), or truestrike ring(boe epic, gl...). The 24 agi, 27 stam, 54 ap ring from Mag's head is also an excellent choice(2.1)

trinkets: bladefist'd breadth and hourglass are what I'm thinking atm

2h weapon: legacy(40 agi in 2.1), crafted BS swords(like 26 agi per) or stellaris should be good options as well. Sonic Spear should also work.

Stuff like this is pretty easy to get. Then just get +12 agi enchants to boots, +15 to gloves, +35 to 2h, +12 to cloak, etc. etc.

This should easily get you in a good range of agility. If you really think some choices are bad(wastewalker might be questionable, for example.) it might just be better to improve your personal dps by wearing lesser agi/no agi(god forbid) items. With the buffs to epics in 2.1, i can see a lot of the blue items I've listed becoming obsolete.


[Edit:] I'll try to make this more presentable tomorrow, but for now I think it lists all the key stuff.

Found my old post: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...48615&sid=1#10
Good info there imo.

Anyway, I guess this is a little OT for the OP. But speccing survival shouldn't be the end of the world for you. My biggest concern atm is whether i'll still use a Marks rotation, or whether i should go with a faster weapon(like barrel-blade) for the agi increase(using Glad Xbow atm)
