Rotation (+Upgrading Die)Follow

Any hunter can be a top dps but it all depends on Rotation! Rotation! Rotation!

Anyways I need help with my rotation, stupid boomkins are riding my butt on the DPS meter, they're too close for comfort. All the rotation shot links are blocked from the computer I'm posting from (public computer)

This is normally my solo play...
- MD to my pet, start with steady shot, then instant arcane shot, steady shot, instant serphent sting, steady shot, arcane shot.

When doing an Instance...
- MD to tank, kill command, multi shot, serphent sting, steady shot, arcane shot, steady shot, steady shot, steady shot, arcane shot, steady shot, serphent sting, (steady and arcane shot so on)
(all targets have been hunter's mark)

I'm also following Aethien's raid gear thread, and all I have left to replace is 1 ring. Any1 have any suggestions? (Dietoliveko on shu'halo)

What do you guys think I can do better?

I'm a die hard BM. Ditch the Arcane and Multi Shot.

Open with Serpent Sting, spam Steady Shot, refresh Serpent Sting.

If you have the Glyph of Steady Shot (which you should!), not opening up with it wastes 10% extra damage on those first few Steadies. The only time you should use Arcane Shot is if you're running.

Edit: fixing the glyph I mentioned

You might have to search really hard for it. I got lucky, and someone on my high population server found it right away. On a low pop server, it might take a while because it takes a minimum of 385 inscriptions to have even a chance (about 1 in 70, once every 20 hours) to learn it. When if first started showing up on my server, I paid 100g for it.

the steady glyph finally showed up in the AH on my realm, and I'm on Laughing Skull which is high pop. I'm not seeing a lot of the minor glyphs which is annoying, but less important.

BM shot rotation -> just steadys, while keeping sting up. It has to be your sting for the glyph.

MM -> start with a sting. Then do steady's and hit chimera whenever the CD is up. If you have an improved steady proc it will last until the Chimera CD is up, but you could also hit an aimed instead of a steady. What's the thought on that? I'd guess that you're much better off just waiting for chimera.

SV -> I have no idea. steady's until L&L procs? then explosive? something like that.

Hawk might be a pretty good glyph for MM hunters, but BM hunters are already soft capped on haste, so it's not worth it. Not sure if it'd be worth it for MM hunters though, as you need the steady and serpent glyphs as they work so well with the MM style. It'd probably be my third choice with an MM build.

50/21 spec (for as long as it lasts), Glyph of steady shot, Bestial Wrath and Imp. AotH.
Rotation: spam steady while keeping serpent sting up.

Minor glyphs: Feign death and whatever else you feel like.
