So we've got a ton of hunters in the guild, most of us are BM with a few rogue marksman (I don't know why). We are currently have downed Mag/Gruul Void and Lurker and are rapidly progressing through SSC and TK (its been 2 weeks).
I have this sick obsession with wanting to go ahead and be the DPS martyr of the guild and go survival, mainly because id like the be that one hunter that the raids finds "important" as it were. I usually out dps most if not all of the other hunters but id rather help the raid and down stuff rather than stroke my epeen.

The World of Warcraft Armory

Theres a link to my armory, I'm missing some seriously big pieces of gear (Hourglass, WEAPON(getting s3 axe), garona's signet, better shoulders). But generally, do i have enough gear to go survival and make it worthwhile not only in personal dps but in raid help? Any gear suggestion would be welcome, Zul' Aman gear so far is terrible, with the biggest upgrade being a leather helm from the last boss , and of course the ring, thats how it seems anyways. I guess theres the bow and gun but its hard to say how much of a dps upgrade they are. When i go into the spreadsheet it looks as if the pvp non set epic would be an increase in dps, but thats as BM, so really i don't know if that holds true if i went survival.

Thanks in advance for the help! Looking forward to going survival soon!
Edit:

Armory is back up...

I've been survival for a while and playing with the spreadsheet there's some good upgrades between ZA and the new heroic rewards.... however there are some disappointing items from a survival PoV like the ZA chest and shoulders.

My recommendations:

Weapon:
Go for 2x [Dagger of Bad Mojo] or [Reforged Trollbane] both from ZA, the daggers are better if you can get them... put agility enchants on these... remember Agility>AP for any hunter build.

Helm:
Season 3 > [Coif of the Jungle Stalker] > Season 2 > T4... not sure how your current leather helm fits into the equation.

Shoulder:
Highly recommend getting Season 2 shoulders after they come down in price, they are on par with T5

Chest:
Hydross Chest if your guild is going to down him... in the meantime get a +6 to all stats enchant

Bracers:
New heroic reward [Steadying Bracers] > Stalker's war bands

Gloves:
T4 are the suck go for [Gauntlets of Sniping] (heroic reward) or [Gauntlets of the Dragonslayer] (gruul)

Belt:
[Bladeangel's Money Belt] from ZA is really sexy

Rings:
Garona's Signet & the new ZA ring... get rid of the master assassin ring ASAP! buy [Pathfinder's Band] off the AH if you can to replace it.

Trinket:
[Berserker's Call] from ZA and [Bloodlust Brooch]


Bow:
Get a +28 Crit Scope!
The ZA Bow is an upgrade over the Prince Bow
The Season 3 XBOW is a big upgrade from the Prince Bow

Spec:
Recommend switching to 0/24/37 or 0/20/41... IAoTH is not a good talent for maintaining a 1:1.5 SV shot rotation
