Err why no Serpent Sting? That's missing out on some nice damage right there. When I hit 70, I got dual spec (waste of money, I'm not going back to Bm any time soon =D). MM is a change of pace and, since I'm completely new to it, fun.
My rotation is this:
1
/cast Hunter's Mark
/petautocastoff Cower
/petautocaston Growl
/petattack
2 Serpent Sting.
3 Aimed Shot
4 Arcane Shot
5 Chimera Shot
6 Steady Shot (rarely)
Against a single target, the mob may never reach me.
Serpent Sting.
With what the Profiler says my RaP is now (its outdated) thats 1014 damage in 15 seconds. So with
Chimera Shot.
and Serpent Sting on thats an instant 405 damage. Plus it restarts the original 1014 damage tick. With my rotation, it lets Serpent Sting tick a few times, dealing a few extra damage, before Chimera Shot kicks in. NOTE: Thats how I think it works.

I'm not undergeared, in fact, I plow through mobs rather quick with this rotation. Actually its not much of a rotation either, I usually don't have to go through it more than once per non-elite mobs.
Hunter's Mark
.
At my level, thats a free 7-10 DPS. Thats a lot considering how fast I shoot. My macro is because cower/growl are bugging lately where they reset when the pet is resummoned or what not, and saves space. The faster I kill a mob, the faster that quest gets done. The faster that quest gets done, the faster I level.

Alkuris, the fact that you end up kiting is why a lot of people (myself included) don't like SV for levelling. When you kite, you lose DPS, and losing DPS means slowing down your progress.
Carrot, your DPS is not really affected by how fast you shoot (slight reasons why slower is better, but not much), I'm not really sure how you saying that HM really matters because you shoot fast. While you are right, your shots do benefit from having Hunter's Mark active, is the DPS increase significant enough to warrant spending a GCD on it? On boss fights, I can understand as you benefit for the duration. But on smaller fights I don't know if it's worth it. Of course, if you're waiting a second for pet aggro or to get into range, it is worth it.
As to whether or not to put up SS...it depends. Do you overkill when you do apply SS? Does not applying SS require an additional steady? If you kill quick enough, SS isn't needed, even with it's effect on Chimera. You get less burst with it. But, if you are not doing sufficient damage, throw that into your starter rotation. That will make it go faster than if you ignored it at first.

OK... i know u are sick of being a BM hunter to level.. well so am i!
i will state what i have done leveling..
i leveled as an MM hunter from 70-80..
all it takes is to put two points in "Concussive Barrage"
this is my rotation
1. Steady shot
2. Chimera Shot (dont bother putting SS)
(your strongest burst shot after Kill Shot)
(Dazes the Target for like 5 secs)
3. Aimed Shot
4. Arcane Shot
= another dead body
:) happy hunting!
...You wouldn't apply serpent sting for a side shot including your Chimera?

Any hunter that doesn't use Serpent Sting before Chimera shot is hurting their DPS. Be prepared to be below other similarly geared and lesser geared hunters on DPS meters in raids/instances if you do this.

My BM rotation is Arcane shot > Serpent Sting > Concussive Shot > Steady Shot > Arcane Shot and then Steady shot untill it dies lol. I do nice dps with this rotation and I dont see any problems with it(Might spec to Marksmanship when I reach 60 to get Chimera Shot for Added DPS with SS).
