Classes DPS Rankings, Where do Hunters stand in Patch 5.0

Hunters DPS is still falling behind compared to other classes based on Noxxic DPS Rankings Chart tested with item level 496 current best in slot gear. Beast Mastery is leading the pack for hunters in the DPS Rankings chart followed by Marksman and Survival. Warlcok, Mage and Death Knights are currently dominating the cart. Monks are doing great with 2 Handed users are slightly doing higher DPS than dual wield ones. BM hunters might have the great burst for PVP situation but as for PVE we're lacking the consistency to maintain high dps when our cooldowns are not up.

Beast Mastery is leading the pack but we're still far behind

Also, Ghostcrawler just tweeted not long ago saying "We don't think burst problems are out of control. We think some specs, notably BM, have too much burst. Most specs are fine." BM might get nerf in the near future, hopefully Blizzard can increase our overall DPS at least to balance things up.

Ghostcrawler tweet about might be an incoming BM burst nerf
