If you're casual, then sure go with what you know and what's fun. If you're looking for progression or being near the top of the charts, look to SV or even MM. If you're looking to raid as BM then try this
52/14/5
build. You won't compete with the other specs but you'll fine for casual raiding / pugging.

347 dps? his pet alone would have done more than twice that. I call BS. Did he fire two autoshots then afk?

yeah seriously, no one at 80 does that little damage. Did you kick him before his pet even got to the boss?

Anyway, you can raid causally as BM. If you pug, or are in a casual guild, you might out dps the SV hunters--I do. Honestly, skill is the most important thing. SV spec wont help you if you suck.

No, not even for casuals. I pugged H Nexus with a BM hunter 2 days ago. He did a whopping 347 DPS on the tree boss before I kicked him.
Really now? I've done some fun heroics with guildies and used my farming BM spec (endurance training and the like) and only BW and mending glyphs, and I was able to do 2500 the entire time w/a lvl 75 pet. More likely he had crap gear, below hit, bad spec, and a fine dosing of all 3. Making a full DPS spec and ensuring you do all the right things could easily (easily) get over 3k DPS.
Crappy players do crappy.

I dont know your gear. I do know that using a BM raiding spec, so far my personal best patchwerk dps was 4.6K.
My ranged weapon is an arrowsong, and my gear ranges from still having the emblem of heroism neck to having T8.5 gloves (VoA ftw). That was with fully pally buffs, but otherwise a less than ideal buff situation--and I was top on damage, (and usually am in my guild) so you can tell it wasn't the strongest running group.
My general 25 man dps is 3.6-4, so yes, low 4s--but I am hardly exceptionally geared. My 10 man dps is usually 3.3-3.6. Is this low, for what you guys are always talking about? Maybe. But I have run with some of the supposed best alliance guilds on my server (which might not be saying much) and I have seen SV hunters who have downed all of uludar except Yogg, and they rarely out dps me by more than 500-1k--and they are much, much, much better geared. I have out dps-d an SV hunter in full T8.5, with one of those 187dps weapons (cant remember which). So all I am saying is, if you are casual, and you are better at BM, stay with it
Buffs, and pet buffs make a huge difference. If a pug wont buff my pet, I usually drop.
Edit: It is unfortunate that the supposed "pet-friendly spec" is the one that locks you into a pet. You really pretty much have to use a devilasuar.

LOL Well duh it's not his spec that contributed to that DPS. And no, he brought in a lvl 79 Gondria still named Spirit Beast. I guess he was just trying to level it.......but I'm not kidding about the DPS.
Basically if you care about your DPS you're not going to use BM unless it's specifically for something like Yogg+0
Maybe he just likes BM and not everything is about the numbers on the chart that i really don't pay attention to, besides the aggro numbers that is. lol
But overall, you shouldn't just kick a player cause of not doing his best, perhaps you could do something more constructive....like help him out, show him how to play properly and do his utmost best that his gear is capable of.
Perhaps you are more concerned with just winning instead of having fun and learning from experience.

Just look me up. I'm asahunt. Thought it'd be obvious if someone cared.
You haven't started Hodir rep? That and the Argent chest looks to be a substantial upgrade (but I recommend that one too often.)
Actually, all this "mediocre" talk makes me want to change my Farming spec up just to run and see what DPS I can get. What exactly are we classifying as mediocre? 3k, 4k?
