/casesequence reset=3 Steady Shot, Arcane Shot, Auto Shot, Steady Shot, Auto Shot

as my primary dps macro, and it has worked INCREDIBLY well. As a survival hunter in an Illidan killing guild, I'm used to being ~7-9 on the dps meters, and had rationalized that because my expose weakness debuff added enough raid dps to make up for my lack of personal dps. Upon changing the spec and shot rotation, I jumped from ~1000 dps to ~1400 (literally) almost bridging the gap between myself and our (incredibly skilled) BM hunter. I'm now placing #2-4 in dps on fights where I don't have other obligations such as trapping adds (Illidan, Shade, etc).

While I miss the benefits of TotH, Master Marksman, and Readiness, I can't argue with the incredible dps boost due to the consistency of the shot rotation. Anyone have any suggestions/critiques on how I could improve this even more?

P.S. I play with approximately 200 ping, and haven't noticed any issues with /castsequence.
