KamodiusThere's my hunter, bearing in mind that as I write this I have my riding crop equipped. That slot's normally got the
Bladefist's Breath. My raid dps has been hovering at anywhere from 750-840, and I'd like to get it up over 1k. We're 2 bosses into SSC, and VR's down in TK. I recently tweaked my BM spec to a more cookie-cutter build. I'm using a 3:2 rotation, though for some reason I always open my MD pulls with Aimed instead of Arcane. So aside from the correction of that habit, suggestions?
Before anyone brings it up, I *know* I have to get rid of
those pants, just haven't come across a drop/pattern to replace yet, as I lost the bid on
Void Reaver Greaves. I'm badging it up for
Shifting Camoflage Pants. Our raid makeup isn't such that a Surv hunter would be super helpful yet (majority is ranged dps, warlocks, etc) which is a whole other issue, so I'm just looking at personal dps this time around.
Anyway, suggestions are appreciated.

Leggins of the Pursuit and it's just 25 badges more :D

The badge ring is a nice upgrade that will pick up your dps
Angelista's Revenge, you'll lose hit, but you'll gain 29 agi, 35ap & 126 armor ignore. Also, the S2 shoulders put out more dps than the T4...it hurts me to say it, but yes, the pvp shoulders are better for raiding dps wise.
Leggings of the Pursuit will also boost your dps and put you right at the hit cap with gems.

It doesn't really matter how you handle MD pulls, so long as you cause as much threat as you can; your habit sounds legit to me. If Aimed does more damage than Arcane, you'd want to use that. When choosing your three shots, remember that Distracting Shot Rank 9 causes 900 threat.
Good to know I'm not being entirely crazy... I just frown at how much mana Aimed costs. (Really looking forward to the new Viper, btw :) )
Also, the
100 badge legs are not only better than the 75 badge ones, but they're better than Void Reaver Greaves too, so don't be too bummed about losing the roll. In general your gear looks like it's coming along well; look into upgrading that tier 4 soon. I trust you're accumulating a few arena points every week; the season 3 helm is would be a good investment, you might even like it over tier 5. And season 2 shoulders wouldn't be a bad idea if you have bad luck with the Tidewalker shoulders (tier 5 ones are not so great). And good luck getting the Hydross chestpiece, it's amazing.
I know I have an arena ranking, but sadly I'm never in arena. We formed it mostly as a joke, and don't really have time to invest, but even if I go in and lose a few matches a week, points are points.. I'll take that into consideration. I realized after I made my post and was driving home from work that I linked the wrong leggings.. just didn't think about the SSO's.
Oh also, a few notes on your spec; you don't need Thick Hide; you don't need the 5th point in Frenzy; take those four points and get Animal Handler (pet hit chance woot) and Imp Mend Pet (but the only debuffs worth cleansing in ssc/tk are from Vashj).
Great notes on the spec, I'll take care of that tonight. Thanks a lot to all of you that gave feedback. To answer your upgrade statement, we're working on TK/SSC as much as possible, and even started Hyjal trash, mostly for the drops, but also for early learning. Between those, I should be upgrading fairly regularly.
