Yay, your first post really doesn't amount to much as it's either wrong or redundant.

Original Post:

I would like to make a bit clear the glyph discussion so i m gonna list the glyphs which benefit our dps ( the best ones ):

1)[Glyph of Bestial Wrath]
2)[Glyph of Hunter's Mark]
3)[Glyph of Serpent Sting]
4)[Glyph of Steady Shot]
5)[Glyph of Arcane Shot]
6)[Item not found!]
7)[Item not found!]
8)[Glyph of Trueshot Aura](ofc this is only inteded for MM hunters but I thought of adding it cause its a must have for MM hunters)

So lets take em 1 by 1 :
1) With readiness not affecting BW anymore i think this glyph is a must for BM hunters.
2) A very good glyph imo which adds 60ap to all hunters that are in the raid (20% of 300base ap of hunter's mark)
I would like to know if this glyph stacks with the talent 'Improved Hunter's Mark' which i guess does but would like a verification. If this is true i guess the MM hunter in the raid should take this glyph for maxed out Hunter's Mark ap bonus.
And with the next patch i see more hunters switching to MM.
3) With the change on this glyph (+6sec duration of your serpent sting up from +3sec) i consider this a very good glyph since it gives u 4 more 'free' gcds
4) Enough have been said about this glyhp - must have no question about it
5) I have serious doupts that this glyph is worth it. A normal fight lasts around 6min so thats 60 arcane shots (max) so the mana benefit from this glyph would be 60x50mana(aprox-cant log in wow atm cause prepaid ended)=3000mana.
Now i dont rly know any precise way to measure what the dps gain is from 3000mana but if u think about how much time u need to 'waste' in order to gain that amount of mana in AotV, its about 10sec in which u suffer -50% dmg, and if u compare 10sec to 6min(360sec) its 2.8% of the time the fight lasts. and considering that we will do say 65% of our total dmg after the patch (rest 35% from pet-which isnt affected from AotV 50% reduction) its a 1.8% dmg bonus overall.
6) For this one i cant rly go so deep in theorycraft and math so ill let u guys do it. Tho by the looks of it - and since haste benefits hunters so little, it doesnt seems convincing to make it to the top 3 glyphs
7) Imo with the upcoming nerfs on our pets, the usage of AotB while BW is up will not be a dps boost and we will keep using AotD - so i think this glyph is useless for us after patch comes live ( would like some more theorycraft about using AotB during BW with the upcoming changes)

So to sum it all up - for me the top 3 glyphs are :
1)[Glyph of Bestial Wrath]
3)[Glyph of Serpent Sting]
4)[Glyph of Steady Shot]

And since i think the best combo is 1BM(or more hihi :P) and 1MM hunter in the raid after the patch ill list the glyphs i, as a BM hunter, would like the MM hunter to have:
2)[Glyph of Hunter's Mark]
4)[Glyph of Steady Shot]
8)[Glyph of Trueshot Aura]

Would like your comments about all the glyphs and your top 3 grlyphs (which ull propably use after patch)

PS: yay on my first post in the forums

Edit: As Robobobr said just below me the trueshot glyph isnt what i thought it is so im not quite sure if its good enough for MM and i dont rly care as a BM hunter if the MM hunter will or will not have it :P
