ok i can see why you say that but for kara and it being a caster friendly raid and with BM when cat dies i lose about 40% of my dps and cat dies a lot at least for me and the you never said anything about the survival part and if im going to trap mobs is what not what i want?

imo use this
1 because u get more agil int to help ur mana.
2 just because you're MM doesn't mean neglect your pet that 50 focus regen will help your dps.
just my 2 cents
combat expirience is for more mana the bonus AP with it is just a sugar coating. MM use lots of mana so it helps

1. Combat Experience gives too low Agility and Intellect to even be considered usefull.
Take a hunter with 500 Agility and 300 Intellect.
Combat Experience would give you 10 Agility and 18 Intellect more.
And you only get 8 extra AP from it, while you could get better of other things. Such as full Improved Hunters Mark for helping the raid more.
2. Full Improved Hunters Mark helps all the Melee dpsers in your raid then what 50 pet focus when i crit does.
As a MM hunter your pet has no focus regen abilities. Hunter's Mark is a preference and not a neccesity. also you can't dps without mana. the more mana you have the more potential shots you have thus you do more dps. And with careful aim it should promote having more int put into a hunter's gear. mind I say 18 int is 270 mana
If you think your pet doesn't do enough dps to worth go into go for the throat then you're wrong. Pets regardless of spec Spell damage and Attack power still scales with the hunter's personal RAP. and a MM should have plenty of that. Windserpent might be a good choice.
I am not promoting MM raiding as I am 41/20 myself. but just imo If you want to raid as MM you should get GFTT and COmbat expirience.

My alt is currently doing Kara with my main guild, and i am BM spec, the only boss where my pet has died is Aran, and that was only because it got in arcane missiles followed by a frostbolt and then a fireball, but rest of time my pet is up the whole time. I have run the whole of Kara a couple of times now and as long as your pet has got 140 resistance in arcane and shadow your pet will be staying alive, oh and you will have to heal your pet yourself, don't expect healers to heal pets, thats not their priority, once in a blue moon my pet will get a heal and that is on trash leading upto Curator where my pet tanks some of the annoying mana spheres.
On a side note, all the hunters in our main guild are all BM spec and currently the top dps'er in the guild is a S3/S4 wearing BM hunter who has like 40% crit followed by myself a combat rogue, so BM is THE spec to be in my opinion for hunters in raids. Oh don't forget they also buff the raid with the damage buff, stick 2 BM hunters in same group as melee and wham bang everything dies quickly.

You should patiently explain to your healers and the rest of the raid that your pet getting heals is a beneficial thing to the raid. Unless your healers are really struggling during the fight, they should be able to assist you with keeping your pet up.
Your pet is beneficial for several reasons. The more dmg the raid can do as a whole in a quick amount of time, the less they spend healing everyone. As long as your pet is up, he will be contributing 3% more dmg to everyone in your party. That 3% can mean the difference between a boss going down in time or not. Also as long as your pet is up, you are doing more dmg which is good for the raid. If you keep mend pet up and healers target heal your pet when Bossmods announce he's getting targeted, you should have no problems.
On the Aran fight, you should be able to keep your pet up until at least the elementals. Most times I send my pet in to tank an ele that is nearby and causing problems while a warlock can fear and banish another leaving one for the raid to focus on. If the pet dies at this point, its not so bad since most times Aran is closer to being dead. On several occasions I've managed to keep pet alive for duration of that fight.
Once you get the T5 pieces and you have at least 2 pieces, you should absolutely have NO problems keeping pet alive even in instances that are not pet friendly. The two piece bonus is for damage you do, your pet gets healed % amount based on your damage.
