I used the sample BM profile in the spreadsheet and it seems to only get worse with increased gear levels. Glyph of Bestial Wrath was way behind the others.
The other 4 glyphs were all within 13 DPS of each other while there was a 35 DPS gap b/t #4 and Bestial Wrath.

While we're on the subject, and before I create a new thread, how is BM now? Is it up there with Survival, or better yet above it? Pre-patch a BM hunter in guild pushed out substantially good DPS (above a lot of people in the raid, actually) in only mostly naxx-25 gear (our guild's main raiders have uld25+). I'm curious to see how it is now.

I doubt BM is above SV right now, but there's no question about BM having been totally shook up with the 3.2.2 patch.
Just playing with the spreadsheet, with my own gear and best raid buffs/debuffs...
Glyph of Bestial Wrath is no longer a priority for DPS.
Wolf is now the top DPS pet for BM.
53/11/7 is no longer the top DPS spec; shift 2 points from Survival Instincts back into Mortal Shots for more damage.
In addition to respeccing, reglyphing, and training a wolf, I'd also remove Kill Command from the Bestial Wrath macro, and put it elsewhere. The new burst macro would include Kill Command, racial and trinket effects, and maybe even Furious Howl, if you wanted to keep it in sync by activating it manually. The only time you can get all of that,
and
the pet damage bonus from Bestial Wrath, is the first time you pop, probably at the beginning of a fight. After that, the cooldown on Bestial Wrath is just too out-of-phase from anything else to be easily included.
All this data you are doing just really @#$%es me off. It just goes to show that, despite all its promises, Blizz had no intention of doing anything to fix BM. There is nothing special about the spec anymore--its SV light! Worse, really, its just totally bland.
Edit: the "core" of the spec got nerfed, and exotic pets became pointless again, hurray!
