We wonder. Hence we ask.

We have been a pure Beast Master since our mid-40s. We have loved it. Our group has loved it. Though they did love the short, short period we were MM/SV with Clever Traps rank 2, they love us more as deep (as in 45/13/3) BM. We are still very good at the chain-trapping, we know how to deal with the trap time vs. the cooldown. We love when Ferocious Inspiration procs. We would pretty much kill for this spec. Or so we thought...

We have found ourselves considering a hybrid build of lately. And we do not know whether to go 31 in BM or MM, but we know we will have 30 in Survival! And we cannot decide with those 31 points. We have considered two variants, or versions thereof. We are very (possibly) sure about the points in Survival, but we need some ideas about the other 31. The ones we've been considering are:

The 31 Beast Mastery/0 Marksmanship/30 Survival
31/0/30
As we mentioned, we might change details in the BM tree as we see fit, though we are not sure how.

The 0 Beast Mastery/31 Marksmanship/30 Survival
0/31/30
As we mentioned, we might change details in the BM tree as we see fit, though we are not sure how.

It should also be mentioned that we are a bit unsure about Trap Mastery vs. Improved Feign Death. We are not very bothered with FDs resisting, though it happens - like our first attempt at heroic Ramparts... ->Dead hunter<- - but it is mostly survivable.

So? We hope someone will see this and give us some much needed input. Is this valid? Should we be lynched for even considering leaving good old Beast Mastery? Should we just burn lots of gold and try it all out? And as a point to that last suggestion, we have not got our epic flight mount yet, so we are not exactly swimming in gold...
