Sorry Steel, didn't mean to downplay the Drake Fang for Hunters. It is a great trinket, I'm wearing one myself, I was merely stating since the OP was a rogue and was wondering if hunters should get it over him or not, that personally I think a rogue could probably use it better than a hunter with a Royal Seal + Blackhands combo.
I wouldn't take it over rogues/warriors if it first dropped, I'm curious to hear if you would?

people keep saying this, and still haven't addressed the issue i raised earlier re: fury warrior DPS being capped by aggro rather than gear. does giving a DFT to a fury warrior legitimately provide the same or better benefit to progression as giving it to a hunter would? it might be 'better' for fury warriors, but given that they brick wall on aggro, isn't it better off going to a hunter?
I've never felt that an extremely marginal difference in effectiveness from one class to another was enough to justify one class giving it up for another.
For example, Circle of Applied Force and Quick Strike Ring both have Strength on them, a useless stat for hunters, yet are both great hunter rings. Should they really go to rogues and warriors before hunters all the time? I don't think so.
I feel that's about the same difference in effectiveness of use for DFT.
If you aren't a goblin, why not?

I feel that I can compete in "damage-dealt-on-average" with any rogue or warrior, I don't think their 1%hit is any more valuable than my 1%hit. Yes, I'd take it. (Don't have it, guild rules prevent me from getting it. I'm just a grunt)

It's not entirly a brick wall. For fury warriors without windfury, aggro is often only a major problem if they use heroic strike, which has a terrible damage/threat ratio. If they aren't using HS or cleave and still have aggro issues, then C'Thun is about the only fight where gear upgrade will help, but most of them aren't at that point.

I'm just wondering come the expansion will survival have some sort of 41 point talent to make it better than marksman, and what it'll take to make it better :/

I'm wondering if there will be a 41 talent that will beat a 31 Mark, 30 Survival build...
I'm wondering if 30+ Beast Mastery will ever be good in raids.
Haha, wait, no I'm not. I know it won't.
If you could allocate item points to pet improvement and there were full suits of such that you could wear, such as the beastmastery gloves in the Hunter Tier .5 set that gives you 2% pet crit, there's no reason it couldn't be. A pet is essentially a naked rogue with only sinister strike and sprint, and a white weapon.
If hunters could wear things that improved the pet, the talents in the beast mastery tree actually scale the pet very nicely. The problem is the pets themselves don't scale, so your power is fixed at 60.
One possible vision of a beast mastery specced hunter would be the actual hunter wearing mostly int and +pet gear and auto-shotting for some added dps while keeping his pet healed and cured of stuff via mend pet, while the pet does the lions share of the damage. He'd be mostly responsible for himself due to a hunters ability to cure all 4 afflictions on his pet, and depending on how well the pet scaled he might do decent damage.
Of course none of that stuff exists so beast mastery is good for leveling but a total joke at 60 once you're past greens.

Even if your pet scaled w/ gear... it would still be close to useless on several encounters due to the AE.... they need to just make pets like totems in Pve, so they can't be targetted by AE.
With the new trinekts coming out (Slayer's Crest+Ouro trinket) along with Earthstrike and Devilsaur(any other good activated trinkets?)... how often would u be able to keep 1 up during a fight... and is it worth it over using a passive trinket if u swap trinkets in every FD?
