i created this build on my own. Just to see where i am in my understanding of hunters.

how do you rate it?

What are you doing this build for?
BGs? Solo? 5-mans? Raids? Arena?
If I know I can rate it.

Well, solo builds and raid builds vary a little. Do you want a solo build that will do okay in raids? Or a raid build that will do okay in solo? What you have is sort of a cross between the two, meaning you probably wont top the damage meters but you get some extra solo power.

I would strongly recommending dropping BS and taking one point out of frenzy to get animal handler. Thats the only way to increase your pet's hit chance. Also, if you want a supreme DPS build, take the 8 points you have in endurance training and thick hide, go 5/5 Imp AotH, 1/5 Endurance Training, and 2/2 Imp Revive Pet. I'd strongly reccomend IRP no matter which way you're leaning. Also, for soloing I prefer CR to FI, but that's a matter of preference (and FI is the way to go for raids).

The cookie cutter DPS build looks like: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=ctbM0gxRwuVoVVbRV
(Note that Imp Mark and Efficiency are enterchangeable, but for BM I'd recommend efficiency). Also note that the three points of the first tier NOT going to DPS can usually be rearranged however you want, but this is my favorite arrangement.

My solo build looks like:

Not that much different, only I drop a bit of DPS in favor of survivability (around 5-10% less DPS for about 9% more avoidance and increased health/armor).

This is a decent grinding BM spec. Pretty cookie cutter yes but not very feasible for raid DPS leading. As my pet is 23-27% of my dps nowadays and he misses on average 30% I strongly recommend that ALL BM HUNTERS spec in Animal Handling. 4% hit is a lot of extra attacks from your beast. 4/5 in frenzy is also fine, 80% is not going to miss proccing that often and it does not stack. Your pet should get 2 crits during any frenzy and chances are that is going to renew it. Improved Aspect of the Hawk is also essential for raid DPS. Improved Mend Pet, Endurance Training, and Thick Hide adds to solo survivability but is a complete waste in raids.

Animal Handling is good for raid DPS and solo content. Get it. =)
