We appreciate your wanting to contribute however things like "I feel..." and "I think..." isn't what we do here. We do numbers. If you have some numbers to back your claims and feelings up we would be glad to read that. Assuming of course you can find your shift key and lose the 'chatspeak' (gonna, imma) and talk like an adult.

Original Post:

so the survival section seems slow, so im gonna add some of my input on various things that popped up for 4.3

With the 2pc, i find haste a lot less useful. i figure more focus = less cobra = more arcane. more mastery would increase damage on both, haste would mean more cobras, which we will need less of due to the 2pc. basically it seems logical to prefer mastery over haste, with crit still being the best after hit cap. unfortunately for my gear i cannot reforge to lower hastes due to all the haste on gear.

hunter BiS that should be bought right away will be the necklace and ring from valor. wrist and belt drop in raid, you will use the valor ring until MoP, and unless you killed heroic rag, you will use the valor necklace until MoP. The BiS cloak is FL heroic from rhyolith, mainly due to the extra socket compared to the valor cloak. i havent tested, but im pretty sure the stacking agility trinket and the agility trinket with the physical damage proc will be the BiS.

now spec discussion: with a lot of add fights being introduced in heroic modes, i feel that taking 1 out of sic em and adding 1 back into careful aim will be beneficial. with the increase crit rates you will proc sic em more than last tier, and with just 1 in careful aim with increased crit rates, you should come closer to 100% crit without having to devote 2 talent points into it.

since your pet wont get as much focus as normal, 1 in shark attack and 1 in wild hunt looks to be beneficial with the suggested build. i ran this for madness (since it has a lot of adds) and managed 53k on 10 man.
(im angry our GM did not record logs, so very angry, and sad) imma run some different builds/pet builds with this to find some more results.

also i would like to see more activity for SV, lets start running those simulators more often, ill contribute more myself as well.
