I may be wrong but some kitchentable maths states that those shoulders are worth depending on group setup 85-150dps (if you get a hunter group with an extra enchance shammy).

Thing is, you're comparing a slight increase in damage to your pet versus a large increase to your own DPS.
Gronnstalker's Spaulders - Thottbot: World of Warcraft v
[Beast-tamer's Shoulders], you lose AGI, INT, 2 gem slots, and armor penetration plus the fact that you're not forcing yourself to use T6 gloves or helm and they're both extreme down grades compared to the Sunwell equivalents.
Even for a BM Hunter, those shoulders are bad once you're gearing up full bore in SWP. Ideally, a Hunter will wear the following (no links, so forgive me):
KJ helm (mail)
Brut neck
Gronn shoulders
Immortal Chest
KJ cloak
Gronn bracers
Immortal Gloves/Thalassian Ranger Gauntlets
Gronn belt
Immortal legs
Gronn boots
ZA ring
Badge ring
DST/M'uru trinket <choice>
BT trinket/M'uru trinket <choice>
Golden Bow/Thor'idal
Felspine/Sanguination Daggers x2/KJ Daggers x2
That is pretty much how it is going to go for every Hunter, end game. Granted, that is assuming that you can even get to that point but yeah, that is pretty much it. Some Hunters may choose to go with the mail equivalents but I'm willing to bet that the loss in mana is going to mean an extreme gain in personal DPS. And, as we all know, that is what is most important.
