Can't spend 27k hp for another PvP bow with wotlk a few short weeks away. Can spend badges though, since badges will almost certainly be (relatively) worthless soon. The 5-point expertise rating for guns (dwarf) might make a difference, but no upgrade guns are obtainable. Might try to downgrade to Wolfslayer if it drops next Kara run (I actually passed on it last run and it was DE'd). Again, thank you so much for your very helpful comments. : )

The increased DPS in PVE from respeccing to a proper raid spec comes from from things like 3/3 FI (3% > 2% damage), Bestial Discipline (more focus for your pet means more pet DPS), Full Lethal Shots (more crit means more DPS), Go For the Throat (same as Bestial Discipline. More focus = more DPS), Rapid Killing for the reduced cooldown on Rapid Fire (A 3 minute cooldown instead of 5 minute cooldown means a hugely increased possibility of using it more than once in a fight and more shots = more DPS), and Mortal Shots (30% increased crit strike damage bonus)

Wolfslayer is in no way shape, or form a downgrade from a 3.1 speed weapon. With Serpent's Swiftness and quiver bonus alone it will dramatically outperform your slow weapon.
