Troels 9 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) 8/16 of your pieces are actually on the BIS list for BM hunter, so you should be fine with going BM. But without Tier pieces (and even with them) the speccs perform pretty much the same. BM strengths lies in the burst AoE and the strong set bonusses. Multistrike isn't a bad stat for BM (see azortharions guide), all tho mastery and haste are better: Single-target: Agility 1.00 AttackPower 0.90 MainHandDps 0.86 Multistrike 0.48 Mastery 0.47 CriticalStrike 0.42 Versatility 0.42 Haste 0.40 Multi-target: Agility 1.00 AttackPower 0.90 MainHandDps 0.62 Haste 0.55 Mastery 0.49 CriticalStrike 0.42 Multistrike 0.41 Versatility 0.40 Universal (recommended): Agility 1.00 AttackPower 0.90 MainHandDps 0.74 Mastery 0.48 Haste 0.47 Multistrike 0.45 CriticalStrike 0.42 Versatility 0.41 So you could go BM with your current enchants and gems and try it out, but in your current gear BM and SV should perform the same, with BM being better in AoE Burst.
