Much like NorthAI was thrilled to be a Beastmaster again, I myself just specced Survival tonight.
After being PvP Marksmen for a whopping 3 days, i got into a guild yesterday respecced SV and joined Kara today and walked out 3 epics and a lot of fun richer.

I have saved a few asses with well timed traps; managed to keep every mob i had to trap trapped as long or longer then needed; ended up nr 2 in the dps meters over the whole run and best of all: i tanked a trash mob for 20 seconds or so...
The mob (one of those ethereals) broke loose and ran after me, i used deterrence and dodged/parried all attacks for the next 10 seconds, got a wingclip on the mob and kited him for another 10 seconds when the tank grabbed aggro back.

The best thing about it was what i heard on vent though:

"hunter is tanking the mob"



"hunter is really tanking the mob" (sounding amazed)



"wow......"



It was awesome ^^
And i wont spec away from Survival again for a long long looooooooooooooong time.
Its the best there is.
And with 659 Agi, 25.57% crit, 1922 AP, 7874 hp and 6193 mp unbuffed i'm quite happy with my stats after tonight.
Although i'd like some more intellect, i never went OoM and didnt consume to many fel mana pots...

Armory if anyone cares to ckeck out my gear..

Also, i specced into Master tactician instead of imp. AotH and i am pleasently surprised with how often it is up.
It really did good for me tonight and its awesome to open up the character pane and see 48.39% crit, 2300 something AP and 800+ agi there during the nightbane fight (fully buffed + leader of the pack + MT + trinket)

Well welcome home man, I must say after transitioning from BM to SV I can safley say I will never go back.

Is there any way to calculate the dps from MT and compare it to the dps of IAotH?

Edited to say/ask: Your gear is really peculiar, you have 659 agi right now but if you swapped for all Agi gems, got sonic spear +35 agi, you could easily have 750 agi. So why is your gear like this atm?
Also switch your trinkets so hourglass is on top of brooch, this makes it so you don't have the 30 sec downtime when you swap crop.

because i just specced back from MM, and before that i was BM for a few months...
And i had about 10 minutes to download and setup vent, respec and get my pve gear from my bank..... and i have only been out of kara since to get an ammo pouch and ammo for my wolfslayer and now when it ended i travelled to nagrand to farm leather...
Also, i had the 2 gems in my gloves in my bag anyway so i decided to use them so i could use my gloves.

Oh and for sonic spear, i ran SL 25+ times and never got it, i kind of gave up hope...
Also, by swapping all gems and enchants around, i'd lose ~50 AP, meta gem and hitcapped.
Wich isnt really worth it imo.
(i will switch out the purple gem in my gloves for +8 or +10 agi though)
