Tier 8 better for MM?

I have not been fortunate enough to get any t8 yet...but it looks to be that the 2 set bonus is gonna be better for MM. I know it will help survival, but could this push MM over surv dps wise? Though i think 4set helps Surv/BM because you get a lot more Steadys off in a fight. But 10% to serpent sting is pretty godly for MM imo.
Any thoughts or math to prove this?

More ticks on Serpent = more damage for Chimera.
using 3k AP in the serpent sting (rank 11) equation (RAP * 0.2 + 1210) you get 1810 damage over 15 seconds, which equals 362 damage per tick.
Serpent Sting glyph adds two more ticks, so the total damage becomes 1810 + 724 = 2534 damage, which can add a relatively large amount of damage to the serpent aspect of Chimera, not counting any other talents.
@ the OP, it probably is, simply because MM is the only talent tree that really relies on our stings for some damage.

^from what I understand those extra 6 seconds mean 2 more tick's of Serpent Sting which means a little more "pow" for Chimera shot.
but if you are using chimera shot every 9 seconds...dont those 2 extra ticks get wasted? since chimera refreshes the sting. also, does extending the serpent sting 6 increase the damage it does? i was to understand it just distributed the base damage over 21 seconds instead of 15. sorry for all the questions im just a little confused.
You're mistaken there Chimera shot procs dmg =40% damage done of Serpent Sting 6 seconds increase overrall damage thus increasing Chimera Damage

Ulduar gear definitely favors MM. MM and SV are currently close, however SV brings replenishment and has marginally better DPS so is the raiding spec of choice. I suspect that blizzard is using the T8 gearing to bridge the gap between SV and MM, but I have not yet run the numbers to see whether the tier bonus and the copious amounts of armor pen being dumped on us will ever mean that MM will take over as the highest potential DPS spec.
Edit- according to
this thread
on EJ, the best gear available from Ulduar now allows MM to surpass SV.
MM brings True Shot Aura.
Also, 2pt T8 is currently bugged. The damage bonus doesn't apply to Chimera - Serpent, only to the sting dot.
