Endgame PvE BM bows Follow

Hello I was wondering what is an ideal bow for a BM in PvE situation. I've been told anything with an attack speed below 3.0, which makes sense (1:1 AS > SS). My main problem is the serious lack of these in game. Right now I have a Steelhawk Crossbow with a +10 weapon damage scope on it. The only other options it seems is the Sunfury Bow which I'm having awful luck trying to obtain or Don Santo's rifle which does not exactly have a sure fire method to obtain. So I was wondering what other options I have? Should I just stick with my X Bow (possibly attach a crit scope to it), or should I just wait an hope I get the bow or the gun will pop on the AH?

Thanks

I've read in a number of locations that a Wolfslayer Sniper Rifle is about the best you can hope for pre Hyjal/BT, so that leaves you with another option. I replaced my Don Santos with the crossbow from Attumen...the Santos' Blessing was neat, but all too often it wouldn't proc at all, or it would proc at the end of a fight and basically be wasted. With the xbow, I kept pace with a very well geared Rogue in Kara tonight (+/- 10k damage at all times relative to him if you count my pet damage), and I haven't even put a scope on the xbow yet (waiting to get my hands on a Stablized Eternium Scope, but there haven't been any for the buying on my realm since Friday night when I got the xbow).

I'm in the opposite circumstance. I have the Stabilized Eternium Scope, but no weapon to put it on (or rather, waiting on the right one). I had it crafted for me. I can't say I've ever seen one on the AH.

I have the Wrathtide Longbow right now, but we're almost ready for Kara now (finally), so I think I'll wait on Sunfury for that scope.

I can't tell you how long I used that damned steelhawk crossbow. Sadly, endgame ranged weapons start to become rare once you hit kara. Your only other option would a season2 arena bow. It's comparable to the sunfury bow if you guild is having issues with the prince or he's just being stingy. It took me forever to get his bow.

Sadly it is just Wolfslayer. End game stuff is all slow and not much of an upgrade over rifle. If you stack haste, you end up hurting your other stats because haste eats up item budget.
