Raid hunter spec

[Stickfigure]

Hi guys.

Haven't played WOW in a while but I'm getting back into it.

I would just like to know what is the best spec for a DPS hunter atm? My main focus is raiding and thus I would like to get the highest DPS possible. Is the best DPS spec still survival?

Very lazy to type this morning.... need coffee.... need to wake up... in a nutshell :

1 - Yes survival is the top DPS spec currently BUT if you are raiding ulduar, its only top DPS spec for first few bosses.
2 - Marksman is very very close behind survival, and can pull ahead of survival in the later bosses in Ulduar when you cant track the Boss type + need to run around a lot. Sniper training doesnt get sufficient time to kick in for survival hunters.
3 - Wolf is your best dps pet currently out.
4 -If you are a spreadsheet junky ensure you are 1000 % familiar with how it works. What works for EU guys does NOT always work for us. The latency affects your choice in glyphs etc. A prime example is the MM - Chimera shot glyph.

Anything else is micro details...

** Oh yes, there is no more macro nuking, its all about shot priorities now.

Depends on your gear, but survival and MM are both viable raid options.
