I would think you should take either Aspect Mastery or Improved Hunters Mark, whichever you prefer, to get that extra AP.
To get to Aspect Mastery takes an extra point, but you do get Improved Revive Pet which is handy, plus AM gives you less of a damage penalty when in Viper. IHM helps your whole group if your Hunter's Mark is on the target. Of course if you need the Focused Aim 3/3 that will take precedence but you want to get Hit capped through gear to free up those three points.
If you're going to take Efficiency, go full out to get the most benefit. Only taking a couple of points won't get you great results in mana conservation and just takes away from DPS talents. Either go with Efficiency or Rapid Recoup. The latter is probably better as it works in conjunction with a DPS talent (Rapid Fire). The trick to RR is to pop Rapid Fire and Readiness, then Rapid Fire again when the first one is ended, thus giving two rounds of Rapid Recoup mana regen. It's a short term fix for keeping your mana up when you really don't want to go into Viper (eg boss is nearing 20% health and you don't want to be in Viper when Kill Shot is ready).
Nanex's comments on Wild Quiver, shot priority and glyphs are spot on.

Chimera Shot doesn't apply 40% of the damage Serpent Sting has already done, but 40% of the total damage it will do over it's duration, which is why the SS glyph is good because it increases the DOT. So when Chimera hits, the SS damage application is for over 21 seconds rather than 15.
As for Balkara's spec, I'd argue against it. Improved Steady Shot is a waste. The proc is way too low and the result too feeble to be worth 3 points. The mana savings is nice but by putting 3 in ISS you're effectively reducing your DPS. Especially when there are no points in Go For The Throat! Also the lack of either Rapid Recoup or Efficiency is going to hurt. The lack of Aimed Shot is bad as well, since Aimed is one of the shots that procs the Bleed on Piercing Shots.
Take the 3 out of ISS and IHM (does IHM even stack with Aspect Mastery? I don't think it does...) and put 5 into Improved Tracking and 1 into GftT. If the Focused Aim points absolutely *must* be there, spec out of Aspect Mastery (and thus out of Improved Revive Pet and the one other stray point) and put 3 into IHM and 1 into Aimed Shot. In the case of needing FA the best course of action is to get to your required Hit level (either for raids or heroics) through gear so as to free up those 3 points and get Rapid Recoup.
This is the spec I use, not saying it's the best but I think it's a bit more streamlined:
