With Marks Hunters possibly *not* being the top Hunter DPS spec now, would a Survival Hunter (albeit with at least 700 AGI unbuffed) contribute more DPS to the raid with 3/3 Expose Weakness? With your group make-up above, I count 11 people plus 3 pets that could use the AP bonus.
Lets say your SV Hunter has 1000 AGI raid-buffed. He would be contributing 250 AP to 11 players and 3 pets. Is this not more DPS than the difference between a MM Hunter and a SV Hunter?
Comparing a SV Hunter's individual DPS alone without taking into consideration their DPS contribution to the entire raid (of those that can benefit from increased AP/RAP anyway) is not seeing the big picture?
