Your QQ has been registered. Thanks to share all this with no data, no dps meter, no armory link and no other kind of proof of what you say.
But I agree, Chimera Shot does less than 2x Arcane Shot (which procs stuff Chimera Shot does and more)

i could pull that pre 4.0.1 was just hard as hell work, but thrugh the roof i am comparing to before i dont struggle to pull 7-8k anymore, as BM i would spike to that if i blew every CD and then i would drop, now i blow CD and i hit 10-11k but then drop to 7-8, it is all relative, and the problem is we got the biggest change (again) and we are adjusting to it, many people i know play still is though it was 3.3.5 and there dps drops like a stone, i saw my dps was bad playing like that, and went out to figure it out, and now i think i got it fairly down pat, but yet again i got BM to work in icc raids so i can get anything hunter to work (my horn broke so i have to play my mouth:P)

I dont understand people saying under do bad at PvE. My DPS increased by about 20%.

This thread isn't about DPS increases or decreases, but DPS as
compared
to other classes.
Yes in comparison to other classes, the casters who were doing relatively the same/lower DPS than me before are now easily 2k+ DPS ahead of me.

Apparently some people are bad at diction and missed the part where GC said they aren't balancing around level 80. Cobra Shot anyone?
So, what, for 2 months now we're as bad as warriors have become?

I have to say, in the 5 man hc's i've run and also in voa25 this week, other classes dps have shot upwards by quite alot. Casters mostly with the increase, but rogues seem to be doing more damage as do dk's.
As for myself, my dps has stayed about the same, maybe a little bit more on bosses then when i was SV, the problem is i have changed to MM so am only comparing between my previous SV spec and the 4.0.1 MM spec.

I'm seeing a whole lot of people vouching opinions from experience in Heroics and VoA. I can say for a fact that yes, your DPS will be lower in Heroics if you're anything except BM. The reason for that is pretty simply the loss of Volley. The Focus system, except when you have certain buffs up, does not really lend itself to "burst" DPS and obviously we lost our main AoE spell. As BM, though, you can still absolutely destroy heroic meters if you like.
I did run ICC 25 Heroics this week. I'll give you a few reference points:
Heroic Saurfang DPS 4.0.1 (3:16): 14,099
Heroic Saurfang DPS 3.3.5: (3:10): 14,601
Heroic Rotface DPS 4.0.1 (3:20): 13,544
Heroic Rotface DPS 3.3.5 (3:24): 14,449
Heroic Marrowgar DPS 4.0.1 (3:14): 11,130
Heroic Marrowgar DPS 3.3.5 (2:55): 12,288
As you can see, my numbers went down in every instance. However, they're not tragically down. I was ArP-capped in 3.3.5 and consider myself to be a pretty good player. I can tell you that I screwed up many more times this week (in terms of my rotation) than I have for a long time. It's going to take me a while to get used to Focus and the feel for it. I have spent countless hours on the dummies doing 3 and 5 minute parses to familiarize myself with it.
In short, I'm going to agree with a post I saw someone else: We seem right in the middle of all the other trainwrecks of DPS specs. We were neither too hot or too cold for Goldilocks. The tales of our demise are much exaggerated.
