...hunters that raid as BM.
But no, really, I am considering it. I am told consistently that "BM sucks" "play a non-faceroll class" (by a dk lulz) and more, etc.
But the haters always stfu when I hit 1500 dps on my lowly 72 BM hunter that still has some level ~60 outland gear.
I plan to reach hit cap, then stack AP like my life depends on it.
Wish me luck =)

It's supposed to better in Cataclysm. Right now, it's not very good.

Good luck. When youre 80, wanna raid together with my unholy dw dk?
Being unique does not make you useful. But its sure fun as hell :)

Go for it, BM now has a
damage buff
that stacks with the other damage buffs. If the raid has a marks and survival hunter then the ap buff and another form of replenishment is going out, you become useful to the raid. Just make sure that this is cool with the rest of the raid. You aren't going to top the dps charts, but you will do very steady damage, I have and still do raid BM at my guild's request. (They love the extra damage buff!)

"play a non-faceroll class" (by a dk lulz)...Yet you are aware that the Unholy DK rotation (let's not even GET into Frost DW) is scores more exacting than BM's and has an equal level of required pet management, correct?
No, I thought not.

I switched to BM because i love to play bm i have tried surv then switched to mm. I am doing like 500 more dps as BM then i was doing as MM not sure why but it is a viable raid spec. i dont have the dps reports to back them up but i have done anywhere from 7000k to 12k dps on bosses in the first 2 wings of ICC 25m which is as far as i have gotten so far
here is my armory if it helps at all

Just because you fail at one spec doesnt mean the other one is viable.

No, I thought not.
"is scores more exacting..." that phrase doesn't make sense.
And it's not more exacting than a kitty druid or enhancement shaman, both of which I'm experienced raiding on.
Also, keep in mind that this is not at 80, this is during dungeons while leveling. As far as faceroll classes during that leveling process...BM hunters and dks are at the top of the list. I was simply remarking at the irony of a clear faceroll class tell me to try a non-faceroll class.
I just LOVE IT when people take the game too seriously and make it personal. It's SO AWESOME.

BM spec has enough potential for probably any progression raid.
You were able to do a minimum 8000 sustained DPS over a 5-minute encounter
before the ICC stacking buff went into play?

Depends on one's interpretation of the term "progression", I suppose.
Progression to me is Heroic Sindragosa and Heroic LK 25. I'm not sure what progression is to you.
That said, I'm still hard-pressed to find BM parses that can make DPS metrics needed for things like Heroic Festergut 25, even with the 20% buff.
