Shihli's Proposed lv. 80 survival tree

Here's the idea:

1)  Imp. AotH and Focused Fire = free large-dps increases for few talent points.  Yay!

2)  Lethal Shots and Mortal Shots are must-have for ANY hunter.  Careful Aim is cheap and provides a LOT more attack power, capitalizing more on the gear we use.

3)  The meat in the Survival tree:
 - Improved Tracking - 5% more damage done to targets you are tracking (e.g. if I have "Track Humanoids" on I will deal 5% more damage to human targets).
 - Lightning Reflexes and Expose Weakness - the main reason SV hunters exist.
 - Potent Venom - serpent sting essentially deals a lot more damage, and is now cheaper to use.
 - Sniper Training - special shots deal more damage, yay!
 - Hunting Party - my ranged crits restore 2% mana, 10 energy, 4 rage, or 10 runic power to the party.  2% mana at our current level of progression = ~200 mana per crit, and unbuffed Shihli has 35% crit ... this means that 1 in 3 shots will restore 200 mana to the group's mana users, which is equivalent to around 200 mp5.  TWO HUNDRED.  OMFG.
 - Explosive Shot - better than I thought it'd be.  Instant shot, short CD, deals (RAP*0.2 + 345) to (RAP*0.2 + 415) damage to the target.  Currently Shihli has 2800 RAP or so.  This means that in my current form, I'd do 905-975 damage to all targets every 2 seconds, within 5 yards of the mob hit by the shot.  Nice!

Survival hunters are the new shadowpriest in WotLK.  Gotta have at least one imo.

Another option might

Another option might be:

Takes advantage of the Clever Traps with Point of No Escape.  If PoNE works like I *think* it might, it might be ridiculously powerful in a raid setting.

"Increases the critical strike chance of all attacks on targets affected by your Frost, Freezing, and Bear Traps by 6%."

Notice it does not specify ONLY the hunter.  If this holds like I think it might, imagine the raid-wide buff possibilities ... one Surv hunter would do the following:

1)  25% of their agility as AP on the current target, RAID-WIDE
2)  (Possibly) increase raid-wide critical strike chance against trap-affected targets by 6%.
3)  Shadowpriest-like behavior for their current party.
4)  (optional) spec into Imp. Hunter's Mark - extra AP based on top-rank Hunter's Mark, RAID-WIDE

Even though I'll be a/the resident raiding Deathknight, I have to admit the possibilities for Surv hunters in WotLK are AMAZING.
