In PvE, generally
Survival
and
Marksmanship
are favored. It truly depends on the player's style and preferences to determine which is more effective, and there are certainly strong Beast Mastery PvE hunters as well. I know you said you know the survival spec well, but you may want to look at the

and the

. Consider also looking at guides on Noxxic and Icy Veins for more information on maximizing dps in any spec in PvE.
In PvP,
Beastmaster
is preferred by players who are able to multitask, taking advantage of controlling their pet to be highly effective. Survival is also strong in PvP for those players who prefer to have their player throw traps rather than the pet, though there are some effective Marksmanship PvP players as well. Consider utilizing

Hey.
I raid DS as BM, and my guild fully accept that. I rarely beat our guilds Survival hunter, but im still in top 3 90% of the time. There is a lot of management to consider, and as Turrat said, you have to time your cooldowns well.
In the Blackhorn fight, ranged are supposed to be on drakes, but the pet just sits there unable to hit anything.
Personally, i have my pet on passive for that fight, i manualy send it on the melee mobs while im shooting the drakes. Same goes for boss, set pet on passive and then tell it to attack Blackhorn and you will still be able to kill command and get frenzy even through you are shooting on that big drake.
I do kind of the same in the Yorsajh encounter, because the dps loss is massive when the pet running to and from blobbers. So pet on passive and put it on the boss, when ever you need to run out and kill a blobber you just do as usual, except your pet will still be on the boss and you get all the benefits of it being there doing damage.

I always prefer Survival. I tried out all 3 and I got the highest DPS with survival and it felt really comfortable. Don't forget though that playerstyle and such always matters.

Me too. I like survival and I pull good numbers with it. It's especially nice when there are two hunters in the group, and the other is MM, because then you get the benefit of Trueshot aura. I will say, though, that in terms of the entire raid's DPS, Trueshot Aura is a nice boost and if your guild is low on hunters, it helps if you're willing to be flexible.
