Simply as the title says... Do you guys think that the rare BoP drop Ruinblaster Shotgun is better than the LFR Vishanka (even for Surv hunters)?
Let's compare the two:
Ruinblaster Shotgun
(888.2 damage per second)
+153 Agility
+230 Stamina
Durability 95 / 95
Requires Level 85
Item Level 397
Equip: Increases your hit rating by 94 (0.78% @ L85).
Equip: Increases your critical strike rating by 107 (0.60% @ L85).
Vishanka, Jaws of the Earth
(832.1 damage per second)
+143 Agility
+215 Stamina
Durability 95 / 95
Classes: Hunter
Requires Level 85
Item Level 390
Equip: Your ranged attacks have a chance to deal 7040 damage over 2 sec.
Now obviously the Hit is kinda... Sucky. But the crit rating is nice to have, and it has higher base DPS (which is huge for all hunters). Vishanka has the proc chance, which scales with Mastery for Survival Hunters. However, people using it report that the proc, depending on their Mastery, typically deals 2-2.3% of their overall DPS. Which is pretty nice. But it has lower base DPS, and no crit. It also has 10 less agility (the difference between a superior and an epic gem).
Now obviously regular Vishanka wins, but if deciding between LFR Vishanka and Ruinblaster Shotgun... Which wins?

If that's the case, then for MM it's definitely true-- the bow is better for Surv than it is MM/BM.

With my gear on my Worgen Hunter ( Annat nagrand US ) the gun is a slight DPS increase by Female Dwarf but in a raid last night I saw a much bigger increase . ( SV Spec )
Maybe I played better than normal last night ( dont think so , I still stuffed up pleanty of times :) ) but the best way to see is to try it out in a live situation ( not dummy)

normal bow is always better then the ruin blaster. simply because it has higher ilvl then the gun.
because of that it has higher weapon damage (which MM prefers) and the proc on the bow becomes even better for SV.
I wouldn't say higher ilv, but yeah. Like you said, weapon damage, proc biased towards SV, etc.
