Last night I had the pleasure of running Naxx with the guild. The Arachnid Quarter went down and we started working our way to Patchwerk. I Must say that this fight suprised the heck out of me in a way.
I'm a newly trained SV since patch 3.0.8 so I'm still in a way getting used to it. I was BM From level 10 - 80 and the change, needless to say, is very different. Anyways, Our raid group isn't ideal first of all. Three Hunters (all three are SV Spec), 1 Priest (heals), 1 Pally (tank), 2 DKs (no clue what spec they are), 1 Warrior (tank), 1 Warlock, and a Druid (heals). I think the group would befefit greatly from a better diversified raid makeup, but I have no control over that.
Back to the point at hand. Patchwerk really suprised me. I was leading DPS with 3300 on him. The closet to me was another of the SV Hunters, who is a bit better geared than I am, with only 2700. I can't for the life of me figure out why there was such a huge difference between our numbers.
Here's my Armory.As you can see, I'm pretty much only geard through Heroics. I have t7 chest, and gloves that dropped in Naxx, but that's it. And, I'm not even fully enchanted so I have no doubt that I could squeeze more out of this spec.
My question is - is 3300 on 10-man Patchwerk Low, High, or in the middle. I honestly hate being ahead by that much on the recount chart simply because it makes me feel like either a) my friends in the guild suck, or b) I'm a prodigy. And I really, really don't think that's the case.

yeah, you're better sadly.
also, on another note, drop
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37167 and get
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44297 from the argent crusade. You'll lose the haste and int, and yes its leather, but it will hit cap you assuming you have a spacegoat around. The hit gained vs stats lost comes out positive in the long run.

Well, currently with 3/3 in
Focused Aim, I am hit capped. Gear takes me up to 172 right now, and the 3% caps me off. And that is without a Draenei in the party. I know that Hit Rating is the most important stat up to the Hit Cap, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure I am capped.
So, back to DPS really quick. On average, what should a SV Hunter be putting out during the 10-man Patchwerk fight?

in 10 man, group composition makes a big difference, as you can have many different buffs. I run with 3 warriors, 3 paladins, 2 druids, a shaman, and a mage most of the time, so i get all blessings, motw, arcane int, and a strength of air totem.
For me, i put out around 3300-3600, depending if im at the top of my game that day.
