I just recently respec'd survival for more utility. As the Class Leader of my guild, I got a spot in raids more often then the other hunters, so I felt I would be the best candidate for it. I'm not 100% of the way there gear wise (using T4 shoulders which have no agility what-so-ever), but I am getting there. With Leader of the Pack/Grace of Air/Kings I had about 850 agility and about 41.5% chance to crit. I am currently 0/25/36 spec. On Tidewalker last night, I was doing about 900 DPS (I was also dropping frost trap for entrapment, so that hurt my DPS a little), give or take (don't have WWS for last night, got screwed up). Not to mention, I have Improved Hunter's Mark and Expose weakness, so i was giving the raid around 325 melee Attack power, which isn't too shabby.
Beast Mastery is definitely the king of DPS for raiding, but I do like having a bit more utility, and seeing crit after crit is fun. And a well played Survival hunter can still do a good amount of DPS on any given fight, not to mention the added damage they are giving to all melee, even the MT. Granted, it is a much more gear dependent spec then BM by far, I think having a survival hunter in a raid isn't a bad idea, which is why I decided to spec into it after much debate. I know the melee appreciated it.
