Need help/suggestions from hunters for gear upgrades! :)

[Iwontshoot]

Hi guys!

For replenishment reasons I have to play survival build for my guild's icc25. This is my armory link:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... Iwontshoot

Generally i'm pulling 12-13k dps on fester/rotface fights, around 10-12k on saurfang as i'm on trap + adds duty. What should i do to further upgrade my gear for survival spec?
Current rotation priority is KS>Explosive>BlackArrow>SerpentSting>AimedShot>SteadyShot.

Been thinking about upgrading boots to Treads of the Wasteland Heroic so as to swap my bracers over to Scourge Hunter Vambraces,as well as then changing 2H to Distant Land Heroic. Is this optimal or should i really do other changes? I understand that for survival spec explosive and blackarrow are not affected by ArP. But ArP and high damage modifiers do affect my aimed + steady and autoshots.
Also, I've looked into recount parses and notice that autoshot falls on my 3rd highest dps, is my button smashing wrong?

Which gear upgrades should i look for survival spec instead of the normal MM spec in order to maximize my dps? Thanks guys in advance for your help and really appreciate comments!

I'm not exactly the expert on SV at these gear levels, but let's see if I can give some useful advice.

Current rotation priority is KS>Explosive>BlackArrow>SerpentSting>AimedShot>SteadyShot.

At these gear levels I'm pretty sure you want to have Aimed Shot higher than Serpent Sting in priority, possibly even higher than Black Arrow (but probably not).

Been thinking about upgrading boots to Treads of the Wasteland Heroic so as to swap my bracers over to Scourge Hunter Vambraces,as well as then changing 2H to Distant Land Heroic.

While it is true that some of your attacks do not benefit from arpen, it's still a good stat even for SV hunter. Definitely better than haste, might be better than crit if I remember right too.

The biggest upgrade would probably be replacing that WFS with DBW - I think DV+DBW would be the best trinket combo for SV (although you might want to check the spreadsheet - I'm not exactly sure how well the Halion trinket ranks for SV).

Replacing that Bloodfall with something that does not have haste would probably be a good idea too.

Also, I've looked into recount parses and notice that autoshot falls on my 3rd highest dps, is my button smashing wrong?

I think that's about correct. The abilities simply don't scale at the same rate, particularly Explosive Shot scales very badly compared to the physical abilities.

PS. The biggest upgrade for you is forcing your guild to recruit another retripaladin or shadowpriest so you can go MM and do proper dps... ;)

I'm using H Bloodfall as well, and wondering...
Should I still try to get enough haste to lower my Steady Shot to 1.5sec cast time or simply dump them all if possible?

Thanks~

In what spec? As MM you already drop below 1.5sec every time your IAotH procs. As SV it isn't completely useless to get some haste, but it still doesn't have a very high value even so.

ok thnx kruf!
Will h hersir's greatspear be good? i have a 10m normal version of it but didnt use it as i'm hit capped and bloodfall provides alot more agi than it. but i've been thinking of going for h distant land and then try to get oathbinder as my last weapon

Hersir's Greatspear is very good - if you can use all the hit in it. There's not a whole lot of difference between Bloodfall and Distant Land - neither has arpen which is a major downside.
