I believe there's already a thread discussion survival-specced hunters, along with several of the already-existing threads containing specks of discussion here and there. You might want to post this in one of those, instead of creating a brand new one. Survival's damage is always going to be contingent upon the amount of physical DPS present in the raid, but it is pretty apparent that the increased DPS from the other people, along with the increase in your own DPS, at least equals the damage loss from not being Marksmanship specced. It probably surpasses it. In addition to its superior damage, BM also gives its party a 3% damage increase, regardless of damage type. That can easily add an additional 100-150 DPS to the raid as a whole, depending upon the composition of your group.
That being said, Master Tactician is a waste of points. Your best bet is to put enough points (36) into Survival to get Expose Weakness, then leaving the tree entirely for Mortal Shots. Those last five points would be up to your discretion, although most would probably dump them in IAotH for "pure DPS" reasons. You could very easily justify spending those points to get Scatter Shot, Barrage, and Wyvern Sting instead. That's what I would do. =P
