The only question i have is why does the SV spec pick up the glyph of steady shot over the Explosive shot one?

Survival
Spec
–
2/18/51
Note that this is a spec that assumes you have very good gear, and that replenishment is already covered.
Great guide, but I do disagree with this quoted build. To maximize BA uptime,
Resourcefulness
should be 3/3, and
Hunting Party
is almost a must. There should be more than 1 source of replenishment in a raid (For 25-man, I say at least 3 if at all possible, but 2 would do).
Actually new research is showing that 1-2 pts in resourcefulness may be better than 3 points (or rather that the dps gain from the 2nd and 3rd point in resourcefulness is not that large and other places to invest those talent points may be preferable). The 22 second ICD on LnL is the reason- the more points you have in resourcefulness the more chances you have of wasting potential LnL procs which is a big factor in the dps value of resourcefulness. The slightly higher uptime of the BA debuff and more BA ticks also factor in but they're a much smaller contributor. There are some details on this in the SV thread on EJ.
The value of hunting party is also highly dependent on raid situation and gear. The better your agility the more dps value hunting party gives, it starts out being pretty weak on the dps per pt scale and tends to improve noticably at higher gear levels. 2 replenishment sources is generally enough per raid, in a 25 man there are several people who don't have mana bars typically and it can proc on 10 people so that's really enough to go around. 3 helps a bit with uptime but not hugely. Any raid with a ret paladin and a shadow priest already has 2 sources of replenishment. Most warlocks these days are running it as well. So it's not that uncommon to be in a raid that it's not needed.
Im soon going to change my spec to SV, and by that time, i will probably also have a lot of agility. If i want to spec into Hunting Party, what points should i move around from the spec that Nareik has given..? 5pts have to be changed.

Well i just revived the hunter from... waaay back. Like.. when killshot was not on gcd. Thats why im in BM spec with lots and lots of AP gems..
But the starter looks fine. Not changing to SV before i can put epic agility in all slots tho. (And probably upgraded a few pieces along the way.)

Agreed. Any idea how much dps imp.SS accounts for?
