Aethian has the right idea with raiding specs. The idea is to maximize dps in anyway possible
Partly true, but not exactly. Let me explain...
Hunter's aren't all aboubt DPS. No, although they're considered safe DPS, they are much, much more. In groups, a good hunter serves as an off-tank, CC, damage, aggro management (misdirect) and more. All speccs are viable for raiding, they all have their own advantages. Survival and Beast Mastery are more utility and Marksmanship is more damage. But no for the OPs question
For a BM raiding Build, I would go something like
this For Marksmanship, I would go something like
this And for survival,
this looks very nice.
Granted, some of these talents can be switched. My favorite raiding one is survival though. I mean, the talents will keep you shooting for longer with the extra hp and mana regain talents like Thrill of the Hunt. Also, with some of the Imp. traps you will be able to chain trap amazingly while fighting. Keeping enemies frozen for extended periods of time. But I'm not the best hunter, and you don't have to listen to me, also some of these talents may be swaped. It's all what you enjoy.
Btw, get a windserpent for the short ranged breath or a wolf for the AP buff if you want your pet out of AoE range and don't plan on using it for damage.
