I have a quick question is BM viable in arena with any other comp other than beastcleave?

I'm sure BM is viable in other comps. It's damage during Bestial Wrath and the fact that you can't be controlled is great for kill attempts.
In 3s you can play with prot warrior and a healer, in 5s it can be almost any 4dps setup, including spell cleaves.

Viable? Sure. Optimal? No. Marksman almost completely trumps Beast Mastery in every other comp (and holds it's own in Beastcleave). Big Red is very gimmicky and you're not left with much (anything) after it ends. If you plan on running ATC (Prot/Hunter/Paladin), PHD (Paladin/Hunter/Deathknight) or any other mainstream comp you're going to have much better luck with Marksman.

In 5s, Marksman is just better (beyond the also gimmick Enhance/Beastmastery/Paladin/?/? team).

Beast Mastery is, sadly, just not a very good spec.
