I'm not sure this had been covered. Tell me if it has. Between hunters, rogues, warriors, shamans, druids etc we say 9 physical DPS in a raid. Count the pets and tanks as another 1, so 10 Physical DPS.

So every point of agi on a SV hunter (1.25 agi with BoK and LR) becomes:
1.3 AP on the Hunter
3.125 AP on the group

So:
1 agi gives 4.425 AP
2 AP gives 2.08 AP (with survival instincts)
For the same item point cost.

Some quick math gives
http://thottbot.com/i25838 - Warden's Hawberk = 296.5 AP
better than:
http://thottbot.com/i29082 - Demonstalker T4 Chest = 294.0 AP

That's not even counting better crit on the Warden's. Gear choices are hard to make general statements about. But some quick math show to me that for raiding a lvl 62 rep reward is better than the first tier raiding set. It's pretty hard to justify sacrificing almost any agi for any other stat when looking at raid-wide DPS.
