T10 Bonus: The Return of BM?

Just curious if the new T10 bonus are looking like they may put BM back on top.
My thinking is the more auto-shots put out by BM (from Serpents Swiftness) will proc the 2-pc more often, bringing your personal output and pet damage up, combined with the 4-pc, since your AP bumps your pet's AP, this also would appear to be nice synergy with BM.
Using a build something like this:

Anyone had a chance to try on the PTR?
Have not found anything on EJ, figured I'd ask here first.

Yes but the difference is the current 4-pc is a PPM, the T10 (so it would appear) is a fixed 5% chance to proc from auto-shot = more procs from BM than MM or Surv. +15% damage for you and your pet, is more raw damage out put from a BM, it would appear.
Just curious about the math.
Anyone, have any PTR data to contribute?

Why is our Tier gear so bound to one specc? Why cant we choose between BM/SV/MM when we buy the tier items from vendor? Wether its from tokens or emblems. Style the 2P/4P to suit a certain spec and let us choose wich specc to go for. Guess Hunters arent the only ones they can do this for.

IIRC Blizz (GC) said in a Blue Post that they were NOT going to have ArP scale with pets.
Considering ArP is being removed from the game, this makes sense. Why put effort into scaling a stat the is being removed from the game.
A little napkin math:
MM - 2.32 speed auto-shots - 46.4 seconds to proc for 10 sec - 7.7 proc per 6 minute fight 21% uptime
BM 1.86 speed auto shots - 37.2 seconds to proc for 10 sec - 9.6 proc per 6 minute fight 26% uptime
MM Spec
7545 DPS - Hunter
1154 DPS - Pet
8699 Combined
BM Spec
4812 DPS - Hunter
3004 DPS - Pet
7816 Combined
The gap is too large to be closed by 5% more uptime on the buff.
Pretty sure MM will be firmly back on top in ICC, unless they improve pet scaling.
I'm not sad to see Survival unseated, it has been king for long enough.

It's not being removed from the game; it's being removed as a stat on gear.
Absolutely correct, thank you for clarifying.
As I understand it ArP is being rolled into mastery? Still not sure if mastery is a stat we will see on gear (doubtful) or as I understood GC to mean, mastery will be a set of bonuses based on how many points you put into a talent tree.
I am actually a big fan of this change, since it will allow new players to choose gear, and talents smarter without weeks of math and trial and error, but still give those of us who love theorycrafting an additional layer of complexity.
