pet will be locked in the stables, waiting for you to get 51pt BM again.
Can someone tell me a good way of speccing my cat from 70-80 Pve. This is what I'm at so far:

This is my build: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=ctbMztgRmuzgRp0eMb
Am I doing something wrong. Seems my pet dies pretty fast and he can't keep hate. 2 SH's and the mobs on me.

I am no expert but i will say what i see there in your pet tree first.
your pet dies so get Great Stamina and possibly Natural Armour , forget about Avoidance as that is not needed in PvE , you went for damage over surviving with your pet and i guess you cannot have both.
In your talents you got Improved revive pet , i would rather go for Endurance training and possibly Thick Hide , they should stop your cats problems , as BM i find i only need 1 point in Bestial Discipline , forget about Invigoration who needs 1% mana returned ?
I think its fine going for pure damage but if your pet cannot survive the attacks it is a pointless way to go , so get your pet able to survive first , my cat can take on a few mobs at a time and never dies , does reasonable damage and as long as i attack the pets target or use Misdirection i rarely get hit now , if you are attacking groups of mobs a cat is not the best of the pets so get a tanking pet , the favourite at the moment is the gorilla , huge fun can be had with them and mobs , i can guarantee they will not die so easily.
My cat was specced for pure dps from 70-80, it died maybe two or 3 times.
Bloodthirsty goes a long way to keeping your pet alive.

Try something more like this: http://www.wowhead.com/?petcalc=0mbc0fzzz
Or, if your pet still needs a bit more survivability, this: http://www.wowhead.com/?petcalc=0mbc0fzzz
For your build, I'd think about something more like this--more survivability, if a bit less damage. I think it's about what I was using at your level. http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=cVbhztgRmzhektcj0b
Start using Aspect of the Beast, you shouldn't see your DPS drop at all, and with a Ferocity pet it might get a bit of a boost. More of it will be coming from your pet than before, that's all.
If your pet is still having trouble holding aggro after all this, be sure to check and make sure Cower is off and Growl is on--pet autocast bugs are pretty much the biggest (non-pvp) source of hunter whining.

Actually, Avoidance is a great PvE talent--for raiding and 5-mans. It's just not too necessary for soloing.
Also, it's not a question so much of improved revive vs other talents as imp aspect of the hawk vs other talents. For leveling, it's a good solid waste of five points. And I'm not sure why anyone would spend only one point in Bestial Discipline--more focus is a good thing, and especially when it's generally recommended to pick up at least one point in Go for the Throat as well, I can't see any reason to pass up on an even easier source of focus.
You've got some stuff right, I just find your advice a bit...odd.

As a reply to Isyris on focus .. and surviving and damage dealt.
My pets never seem run out of focus and i only have 1 point in bestial discipline at the moment i did try two but could not see a difference in the damage dealt , and so i followed the advice i found on Alla for my latest BM spec which works fine for me , an example is my cat in the tundra against the herds of Rhino , a simple heal now and then and she beats them down without any problems and while i was getting her to 70 and mostly using auto shot she was doing about 80 to 85% of the damage i was doing so that 1 point was doing its job rather well.
I feel with cats the need for extra health is a must have and extra armour is probably worth it for a BM hunter as there is no point in creating a glass cannon effect with all the hunters and cats talents if they cannot survive a fight , we all know a pets death for a BM Hunter means a huge damage loss for however long it takes to revive your pet , and so far i have only had my cat die once and that was against an elite dragonkin and his friend in Ashenvale , hehe i saw Elite but did not check their health , those suckers are old world bosses with something like 80,000 or so health and hit rather hard as well.
I do not do 5 mans so cannot tell if avoidance is needed there , but i have never had a problem anywhere so far outside an instance and that is doing quests almost everywhere except for the 70+ areas.
Edited to say i would have tried to link my build but its Wednesday and WoW maintenance means i could not check in to link my builds.
