For your last pet points, is it better to go 2/2 Shark attack, 2/2 wild hunt, or 1 in each? So far it seems that my pet isnt keeping above 50 focus very often (as survival)
havent done any tests

The Ideal ferocity spec actually has 1 point in both shark attack and wild hunt now. I'm sure once we get to higher levels of crit this will go back to two points in wild hunt because our pets wont be so OOF anymore.

Wild Hunt still wins out in my opinion. Sic'Em ensures you get multiple procs throughout the fight.
(FYI the Basic Attack is a very large portion of the pet's dps now)

Cool, thanks
i was leveling my spider in randoms today, and it seemed to me that he has alot more focus (due to owl's focus)
do the effects stack, and do you think if they did that cunning pets would output more DPS>?

Honestly, I'm not sure whether Cunning or Ferocity pets now have the greatest DPS potential. For BM, however, I think that Ferocity would probably win. Unlike Cunning, Ferocity has definite places to put those extra four talent points (Wild Hunt, Shark Attack, Bloodthirsty, and Heart of the Phoenix), and the insta-rez with Heart of the Phoenix would be quite valuable when something goes wrong.
Well personally I prefer speed over that and get both the Charge and Boar's Speed talents. Lots of movement in Cataclysm fights and getting your pets out of those nasty things faster is better than having to rely on an 8 minute cooldown.

Some tests. Cunning and ferocity pets. no special abilities. 2 minutes. Survival spec.
Cunning (wind Serpent)
966.2 DPS
Bite damage
Average: 1465
Max: 2357
Ferocity (wolf)
1039.4 DPS
Bite damage
Average: 1198
Max: 2258
while the wind serpents talents allow it to have 50+ focus more often, its lack of other pure DPS talents cause it to fall short of the wolf.

Is that DPS test including the extra 16% dps a cunning pet will do for the last 35% of the fight?

Spirit beast give you ferocity PLUS the healing (which is not bad at all). In the few 5-mans I have run, I have already had a few healers thank me for all the self-heals since mana is at a premium right now. And there have been two fights already where our healer has died close to the end, and spirit mend on the tank has been just enough to get us through the fight.

Yes. More Spirit Beast Advocates. I believe my spirit beast has helped me in 5 mans too. With minor healing and off tanking (the adds during the last boss in Stonecore). The extra talent point from hitting level 84 goes into shark attack. HotP and LYW help a ton.
