Long time readers know that you do not put the phrase "long time reader, first time poster" in their posts. They also know that we have a Search function that is largely helpful in sorting out spec'ing and rotation questions as those are generally the first to be asked and combed over by our theorycrafters.

Original Post:

Just wanted to post for my first time, long time reader.

Some things that I have been trying that have so far worked well for me.

First my armory to explain:
The World of Warcraft Armory
Talents
The World of Warcraft Armory

I have been one of those SV Hunters playing around with adding Aimed shot to my shot rotation. So far I believe it has been working pretty nice for PvE and the limited PvP that I do. I put together my shot rotation like this.

Aimed shot or optionally Multi shot (instant cast) first to have the rest of it's rotation burned since it's CD is the longest. This also helps in PvP of course as I want to stack as many debuffs for the dispell lottery as I can.

Then Serpent Sting (instant cast) Due to the cool down relationship between Aimed Shot's CD 10 sec and Explosive shot 6 sec I favored putting it here in the rotation, yes I miss the 3% nox sting damge buff and as you see latter I'll burn a bit off my serpent sting but so far I am ok with that.

Next up Explosive shot (instant Cast) Putting it 3 CD's in is not such a problem for me since they are all instant cast and more importantly lets me fire on the run with all 3 of these shots allowing for trap dancing and regaining range or letting me be mobile during a fight and that's really important for max dps during PvE or PvP .

Finally 2-3 Steady shots (depending on Aimed shot and Explosive shot CD)This is the part I am less comfortable with as I know I am burning time (clipping) my Serpent's sting if I only go for 2 before I repeat the rotation but frankly for me Explosive shot and Aimed shot tend to be more flexible as well as do more damage.

Finally I am using Glyph's Improved AoTH, of Aimed shot (for the mana refund) and of Steady shot
It's a comfortable rotation to keep up as my mana regen is high but clipping Serpent sting sure hurts but I don't really wont to replace it with another SS as that would be wasting 'up" CD times. Is there anything that any of you would suggest to me that I am not seeing that would really help? Do you see any huge downside to what I am doing?

Thanks in advance for any help.
