Would this spec work?

I'm considering swapping the Kill Shot glyph to Serpent Sting, but not too sure. Accepting any advice.

I haven't seen BM as a viable good dps raid spec. I spec'd BM after patch and did horrible dps Vs. my survival build. Also in raids your pet always seems to go down and when he does as BM your dps goes to hell. Test this out and if you seem to throw good dps let me know. I miss BM terribly but I want to actually do good dps in raids >.>

I am not gonna quote all that so: Viable dps is 4k+ which is what my survival build throws. Also when you raid spec you want max dps and since you yourself said it is a low or lowest dps hunter build then it isnt a viable raid spec imo :/... And though you can use pet control doing such ultimately will lower your dps as well. And there arr several raid bosses where you can sit still and pewpew....those are my fav ^^. Like I said I miss BM... I just don't see it as a viable raid spec

Here is a link to my Hunter
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Saurfang&n=Cyrric
I have the duel spec set up for BM and SV. I was MM before BC, BM during BC, and switched to SV when WoTLK came out.
I love the BM spec but it took way to much of a initial beating from the nerfs for it to be viable imo. But with the latest round pet buffs it is indeed a viable raid spec. With my current gear as BM i pull 5500+ dps in 25 man naxx which is good maybe not great since i can pull over 6k with my SV spec. But it does have a lot less moving pieces compared to SV or MM.

Personally, I'd go like this if I had to raid as a BM.
The Points between invigoration and improved arcane shot are depending on your mana issues or not. Which depends on your raid composition :) If you never have any mana issue, 0 point in invigoration and all in improved arcane, if you do have mana issues, can do as linked above, or remove aimed shot and put it in invigo... Well, just a choice which won't change much :)

@ Femimid, link your armory, anything under 4k is weak dps seriously in a 25 man. As BM my pet doest right at 50-55% of my dmg with 4 of T7. I use a Devilsaur for a pet. Something that ive noticed a lot of hunters have points into FA to reach hit cap which is killing your pets dps. Since your pet shares your +hit rating only from gear. So if your setting at say 5% to hit and use FA to reach 8% you pet is still settting at 5% to hit.
I also disagree with gemming for AP as BM. From my own personal testing and from using the Hunters Spread sheet that can be found at

AGI is more beneficial for you. As far as a rotation goes i keep SS up at all times, spam steady and use Arcane and Multi every time they come off of CD.
Glyphs for a BM spec should be Steady Shot, Serpent Sting, Bestial Wrath. If you want to play around with it you can use the Hawk glyph, but you really shouldn't need the haste.
