I find I'm doing more DPS now than I was previously. I'm nowhere near the 4K+ group but with things going well for me in a fight I can break 3K which is entirely new ground.
But not being at, or in, the top bunch due partly to other classes getting a buff is in no way a nerf. I've found I have to order my shots a bit differently sometimes and talents did change. I see that you're Survival and that class did get a pretty big shake-up with the changes to Lock and Load, the new Black Arrow, altered TNT...
And looking over your Armoury, you're over-capped for Hit and how are you only at 25% crit? SV needs a lot more crit than that, and you have no points in Go For The Throat so your pet is focus starved, leading to a significant loss of DPS. SV may not be about the pet, but that pet is still a good chunk of your damage. You're nerfing yourself there. Your talents definitely need tweaking (2/3 IHM? No Noxious Stings? 3/3 in Hunting Party? 2/3 Hawkeye?) and that could certainly streamline your build and boost your DPS.

Yeah build probably needs tweaking. The armory is stuffed atm, my crit is actually 35% unbuffed and AP is about 4300 so not sure what is going on with armory.
Plus if classes are getting buffed while others aren't then that is efffectively a nerf. For instance rogues, which i accept did need a buff are now doing over 2K more damage than they did pre 3.1. The is just crap.
I think Blizz are trying to normalise the DPS classes so that if you're role is DPS, you will do competitive damage with another DPS class, the intention being, I believe, to do away with needing one specific class over another. Where this sucks for Hunters is not in DPS but in the fact that much of our utility (ie crowd control and buffs) are being made irrelevant. No one traps anymore and any buff a Hunter can bring is over-written by many other classes.
But in terms of damage, no, it's not a nerf; position on Recount is not a class feature nor do Hunters have any specific right to be at the top of the meters.
I'd
tweak
* your spec first before trying to lay blame elsewhere.
*This really has 1 floater point to do with as you please. I put 2/3 into Hunting Party but with a 35% crit rate you don't really need that, 1/3 would be fine. You could go 3/3 Expose Weakness (again, don't really need it, 2/3 is good enough) or 2/2 GftT (to ensure lots of focus) or even Scatter Shot if you want. Or put 1 into Improved Hawk and get the related glyph if you need more Haste.

your spec is out a lot. Go look at the helpful threads and take a spec from there. that should boost your dps up. I can hit a nice 3.6k dps on boss fights in mostly pvp gear.
