I've been marksmanship specced since level 40-42ish and alot of the talent trees really don't cater well to it. The improved aspect of hawk and hunters mark add a whopping 2dps at level 60 if you go 5/5 on both so they're wasted points. Beast spec I keep thinking would be beneficial to me since at nearly level 54 I primarily solo and grind my way through levels since I'm too high for the lower instances and not quite high enough for BRD and then BRS/Scholo/etc.
My marksmanship spec is something like 14/37/0 once I hit 60 with all of my marks tree talents filled up to spec and I've been adding to beast at each level for awhile now. Here's what I currently run with:
I'm wanting to respec but would like some feedback from anyone who has tried top-end beast spec builds before I drop the cash for it. Main reason is that I know I've already wasted 10 points between improved AoH and HM, and I'm not sure where else to drop them. I'd also like things such as improved wingclip from survival tree, but in a few levels I'd rarely ever get use out of that tree except in PVP when stuck in melee.
Anyone with experience have any thoughts? I don't want to waste the gold in trying if someone else has done so and found it to be worthless, but at the same time I feel as if I've wasted alot of points for little reward and will be respeccing anyways to redistribute those 10 pts regardless.

Reason I think this will be nice is because my pet can take down mobs faster, live longer, chase down players in PVP faster, and crit more often while the big downside for me is weaker ranged crits, slightly weaker serpent sting and no trueshot aura which only adds about 2-3dps - but that's for all party members and not just myself.Marksmanship Mastery
