DPS: 480
2mins 6 seconds
1:1 Rotation
Frankly it was frightening how much dps I got, and add in my pet and it is even higher. This is higher than I have seen in instances with Surv. Although this does not account for threat, having to move, nor potential buffs I may have from the group. As well as ignoring FI.

DPS 566(Skewed slightly by multi shot damage)
2 mins 30 seconds
1:1.5 Rotation(With downranking arcane shot)
Ah goodness of Surv, and drasticly outperforming BM, I can maintain dps longer, and droping to just auto steady, I can maintain dps for even longer, not to mention im 1 rating from the hit cap. I have been able to consistantly done high dps with surv, and able to go long periods of time on aspect of the viper, or hawk, more so than I could with best mastery.
This is skewed as it is only one trial, and the lack of pets, that might put BM over what Surv did, and FI.

The problem with Dr.Boom for hunters, as you surmised, is that it doesn't take the pet or the pet's buffs into account. A BM hunter pet will account for approximately 30% of the total DPS of a BM hunter.
We're not saying you shouldn't enjoy SV or preach its merits. But know this - SV does not, cannot, will not out-DPS BM. Ever.
It's a wonderful spec and, properly played, makes the hunter really hard to kill and invaluable to melee classes in a raid.
But for pure, epeening DPS, BM is the be-all end-all of hunter-specs.
Good luck and keep on writing!

It could just be that Ive gotten so used to the 1:1.5 rotation that i was clipping more auto shots with 1:1 lowering the damage, as well as my gear was gathered around surv. I do agree that bm is more damage, but the play style just doesnt suit me.
