125 DPS is probably less than 10% gain for you.
2x Ferocious Inspiration = 6% direct gain, and you still have SoE and GoA in Cluey's example. I'm pretty sure that that evens out personal DPS. If hunters are outranging LotP it's their own fault, not yours (you're limited to melee range, after all, and there's very very few situations where it's required for hunters to be at max range).

I think the main point that should be made is that the RDPS gain of switching between the two group setups is minimal (maybe 200 dps tops, which should be less than 1% total RDPS). Sure, it can make a difference sometimes, but most of the time it won't, and not using the absolutely optimal group setup won't make you wipe over and over on something - if you're wiping that often there's something inherently wrong in what you're doing. Setting up groups correctly in general gives a very big gain, but arguing over who gets the most benefit within a particular group setup when the argument has been going on for so long and nothing conclusive has come of it is an exercise in futility.

It's better to make the majority of people happy and sacrifice a tiny bit of RDPS than it is to force people to do particular things because it's "better for the raid" yet actually piss off more people than you make happy.

I'm also pretty sure the lacerate change is nothing to get excited about, unless they do something ridiculous or change the way the 20% threat modifier works.
