I've been playing around with the spreadsheet on femaledwarf.com. My current spec can be found here http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Frostmane&cn=Greensack&gn=Siege. If I switch my spec to include 3/3 focused aim instead of rapid recuperation and imp arcane(as the standard spec from EJ shows), I lose quite a bit of dps on the sheet. This happens even when I have arcane removed from my shot rotation, I also lose dps if I switch my kill shot and imp hunter's mark glyphs for chimera and steady shot. The reason I ask if this is right is because 3/3 focused aim and chimera/steady shot glyphs seem to be the standard for raiding marks hunters and the dps just doesn't seem to be as good. Should I just stick with what I have, or is the spreadsheet wrong and I should respec/reglyph? I'd appreciate any suggestions. Keep in mind my guild is strictly raiding 10m content at the moment.

Obviously speccing to Focused Aim when you're already hitcapped from gear is going to be pointless, you're moving talent points from talents giving you a benefit to talent not giving anything at all.

Chimera glyph simulates at less dps than Kill Shot, but in reality on any boss with adds it may be better if you can keep your sting up on the boss without having to reapply it after the adds die. Steady Shot glyph should definitely be better than Hunter's Mark, especially since you don't have IHM specced. I don't know how accurate the spreadsheet is, since I don't have Excel, all my experience is with the online version at www.femaledwarf.com and SimulationCraft.

PS. You probably already know that those T10 leggings are not very good, and that you could use better trinkets...
